In other words it's not cilantro that's bad, it's just this guy's mom grew him wrong and his genes came out all wonky.

Maybe she "grew me wrong," but I guess that's how you people pass judgment on others who aren't exactly like you in every way. If that means I was grown wrong, then I truly thank God for it.

My man it's clearly a joke. Nothing more.

[-] tygerprints@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Then I do humbly apologize for being thin skinned. I'll force myself to go eat cilantro as a punishment.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Hahaha shit happens. Seriously though, out of curiosity, would you say it tastes like soap to you? Because that's what I've always heard when it comes to that gene

[-] tygerprints@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

Not soap, exactly, for me it's more of a bitter flavor. I guess i can see how you could come to like it, like learning to like blue cheese, if you eat it enough. But a lot of foods are overpowering to me that other people eat by the buckets-ful. I think most people have a cast iron gut, which I really envy.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah definitely not what it tastes like to me. I don't know if it's always supposed to be soap but yeah you have to have that it's just way off for you. I wouldn't force yourself like with blue cheese or something. No real point.

I don't really eat a ton of Mexican food anyway, because of a touchy stomach (not because i don't love it) so I don't really have to contend with cilantro most of the time....it seems to be a big hit with other people, though, so obviously my taste receptors are wired differently.

This is the best TIL I have had in the last several months. I always thought they were all just wrong about the taste, but they were actually just wrong genetically.
