But what about cilantro. It tastes like s#it. To me. Yet everyone else seems to love it. It's very bitter and acrid, I don't like it. I can barely handly the slightest hint of garlic in most food. I prefer the taste of food without embellishment - like meat without sauces or spices, it's already pretty flavorful as is.

I like it because it has a unique, sharp, pungent flavor that is unlike anything else I've ever eaten. I can't get enough of the stuff. I could literally put an entire bunch of cilantro in any dish that calls for it. Doesn't taste bitter nor acrid at all. It makes a lot of Asian and Mexican dishes taste so much better. I wish I could better describe what it tastes like to me to people who don't like it, cause y'all are really missing out.

To me it's so bitter I can't even bite down on it. It reminds me of syphoning gas for the lawn mower as a kid and getting a mouthful of kerosene. BLECH.

Man that is so foreign and bizarre to me. My mouth is watering just thinking about cilantro right now.

Sounds like you are a super taster. My wife is a super taster too. She can't eat food that has been in the same room as cilantro. She likes meat cooked medium well, with maybe just a hint of season salt. She is the only person I know who likes easting salad without any dressing. Anything spicy is absolutely out of the question for her, including green peppers.

That sounds like me in every way. I also make my salad with no dressing on it, I prefer the taste of the veggies which are quite strong to me. And I don't even put syrup on pancakes, it overwhelms the amazing taste of them. I like meat with just a hint of salt also. Maybe we were separated at birth! Everyone has unique flavors they like or don't like.
