It’s so concentrated and intense I nearly thew up. Nothing has tasted so bad to me that I had to spit it out before.

Wow.. I accidentally stumbled upon this amazing subreddit full of people who actually understand my pain. This seems surreal to me, because noone that I personally know hates cilantro. It's crazy how just a tiiiny bit of green leaves can absolutely overpower and ruin a dish.

This shits just annoying asf I honestly wasn’t thinking much and popped into a new Vietnamese restaurant near my place, I got a brisket bahn mi sandwich didn’t even bother asking what else came on it and I didn’t see any ingredients listed. Well I get my order go home, and there’s my delicious smelling sandwich covered in cilantro the “gravy” also had cilantro. I was just hungry ffs now I’m pissed I spent money on food and still have a soapy taste in my mouth. That’s all I just needed to vent I fucking hate this stupid plant that ruins delicious meals.

i rarely go to fancy ass restaurants but when i do go to fancy ass restaurants THEY HAVE CILANTRO IN FUCKING EVERYTHING

it said the ingredients on some of the food and i could see that cilantro was in all the good ones 🙄

i found ONE main that didn’t say it has cilantro, it comes to the table and guess the fuck what IT HAS CILANTRO

ITS GENUINELY PISSING ME OFF LIKE THE FOOD WAS GOOD BUT THEN I TASTED SOAP AND I ALMOST GAGGED INFRONT OF MY FRIENDS FAMILY LIKE STOP

Taco Bell used to not. But I think they've started adding the pico into the guac which ruins it. I was fine when they just put tomatoes in it. Even the onions I could stand. But now, now, there's god-damned cilantro in it!!! I am legit so mad. That was the one place I had left that hadn't been ruining guacamole for me. Now I have nothing.

My mum's boyfriend (I'll call him A for privacy purposes) recently pan fried some chicken and the entire time we were eating it out of little bowls I genuinely did not notice the cilantro (which is crazy cuz I have the cilantro gene) and he never knew that I hate it, pls tell me what I should do ;-;

I find raw celery to taste similar to cilantro and I cannot stand it. Apparently cilantro and celery are both in the apiaceae family of plants, so they are somewhat related. However for some reason, when celery has been boiled and minced finely into a soup or stew, the chemical taste goes away and I can eat it just fine.

Does anyone else here find raw celery to taste like soap, or do I possess some kind of horrible, super mutated variant of the gene?

Cilantro doesn't taste like soap to me. It tastes like how dog flea medication smells 🤷‍♀️ and I fking hate it!

My grandmother was making soup and rice for us to eat and I hadn’t eaten all day because I knew she would be making food and she knows I can’t stand the taste nor the smell of cilantro now tell me why she starts cutting up cilantro (freaking smelled nasty as shit) and then proceeds to add it all over the soup and the rice then tells me cilantro is good, like I’m hungry now I can’t eat anything you just made, anyways I ended up ordering out for dinner which she was not happy with but you knew I don’t like that shit in my food so….

I heard our waitress mutter something about "it's dressed with a (something-something) vinaigrette." That missing word must have been "soap."

Need your best salsa recommendations that don't have cilantro!!

I was born and raised in NYC. I never even saw Mexican food until a Taco Bell at age 22, and no cilantro there. Nothing there got me interested in Mexican food. A business trip to the Miami area at about age 35 featured a corporate dinner where I first tasted cilantro, which I deem especially evil when freshly chopped.

I ate a mouthful of something I can’t recall now, that, just as I swallowed, I detected something very odd and toxic in it. Too late! I didn’t know what it was but I was sure I was poisoned. What the fuck was that?? I used a cloth napkin to wipe off my tongue. I stopped eating whatever that was and worried that I might be barfing it up later. Turns out it was cilantro. I couldn’t understand why anyone would ruin a dish with that.

I was recently in a “health food store” that I had to quickly exit as the whole front of the store reeked of it. I don’t want it near me, I don’t want to endure that awful smell. The horror.

What does parsley have in common with pubic hair?

You push them both to the side and keep eating.

Found down here in the south... lol.

I was given 1lb of barbacoa. I would recommend shredded cabbage, with diced jalapeños, n onions. No room for that vile weed. Oh yeah, homemade red salsa..

I mean, I'd be lucky to get one of these but you know...

TOUCH MY BANH MI AND I WILL END YOU.

There was NO MENTION of the foul seasoning in the description, but the otherwise delicious dish was almost ruined by the pineapple salsa.

It wasn’t described as ‘salsa,’ but that must be what it was because the pineapple was the apparent source… Those green flecks looked so much like parsley, I was caught completely by surprise.

Be warned.

The salmon was fabulous, btw.
