Why does it seem like the trendy thing in food these days is to add cilantro to EVERYTHING???

Has anyone else noticed this??

If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen. And grow a pair.

Cilantro is funny because people either love it or hate it.

I like it a lot, in good salsa, guac, etc.

I have a relative who claims it reminds her of "dirty dish water". And I know several people who hate it.

Cilantro is great in certain dishes. Indian food and cilantro are like peanut butter and jelly. It's also good to put in most types of salsa, on tacos, and in chimichurri.

Cilantro and parsley are the bomb. It kills me when people don't like these or tomatoes. WTH is wrong with people? They'll eat Taco Bell or drink a Pepsi, but won't eat these?

It makes anything taste fresh, no matter what it is. You could use cilantro to garnish skunk piss that's been sitting in a stump for 3 days and it would taste decent.

I just ate a bit of it in a spicy ketchup ... it was good.


I also tasted my GF's gin gin julep ... which is a take on the mint julep but has cilantro and that was really good and very strong as well.

For some people cilantro just tastes different. I have read that it tastes soapy or metallic.

I think they can't smell or taste the compound that makes cilantro enjoyable to others.
