Showing Original Post only (View all)Time for an easy poll! Cilantro (as in fresh coriander leaf) ....what do you think of it? [View all]
Last edited Wed Aug 1, 2012, 05:12 PM - Edit history (2)
I am posting this based on a really interesting watermelon salsa that my wife loves, but I thought she ruined because of the cilantro that she put into it.
Her quilting bee companions were similarly divided....
So, DU - Cilantro - yes or no?
Edited to add this results from a study -http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/1/1/8/abstract
Results
"The prevalence of dislike ranged from 3 to 21%. The proportion of subjects classified as disliking cilantro was 21% for East Asians, 17% for Caucasians, 14% for those of African descent, 7% for South Asians, 4% for Hispanics, and 3% for Middle Eastern subjects"
And what do you think it tastes/smells like?

I don't like cilantro. If there is more than just a hint of cilantro in a dish,
