Margarita Recipe

No. I don’t like Cilantro. It tastes like a pungent garden weed that’s been doused in detergent. I’m not quite sure how anyone could like it.

I’ve read articles about how some people can’t taste the bitter chemical in broccoli that causes others to hate it. I’m apparently someone who lacks the gene because I love broccoli.

However, I can definitely taste the awful flavor of cilantro. Perhaps there’s a genetic component in how people taste wine differently too.

Same here … I love Broccoli too. :smiley:

Cilantro tastes like perfumed soap to me. Not very pleasant at all :frowning:

Yes, exactly. It’s not necessarily a bad smell, but like scented laundry detergent, I don’t want the taste in my mouth.

I love cilantro and joke that I wish someone sold cilantro scented car air fresheners.

LOL … I could deal with an air freshener … just don’t spray it in my mouth :stuck_out_tongue:

Ha! I just nearly said the same thing Just-B did :stuck_out_tongue:

Like @Steve_O, I too am rather fond of cilantro.

The weirdest I ever had was a brandy from estonia it had a tree growing in it.

It tasted like soil.

Still drank in one sitting

We call it coriander here and our asian grocers all sell it fresh. We don’t buy it much because we grow our own. We use it in cooking, or as a garnish and very often in salads.

Here Cilantro is the leaf and Coriander is the ground seed. That is a tad more tolerable to me :wink:

And everyone says “So you don’t eat Salsa???” like that cancels out my aversion. Yes, I do eat Salsa. Whatever else is in it masks the perfume taste. :stuck_out_tongue:

Here in the US, there are at least a couple of brands of imported Mexican tequila with critters in them. One has a mescal worm and another a scorpion — both dead, of course, but still floating around in the bottle.


Edit: I was trying to find the brand of tequila with a scorpion in it and ran across this. Yuck!

I’d have to draw the line at that one now :smiley:

I’m pretty much game for anything - but snakes and fish is where I draw the line.

I don’t know why, but I get physically ill at the sight of snakes, and I just cannot stand fish, the look, the smell, the everything.

I’m always on the lookout for something cool though. I have a pretty neat drinks trolley in the living room - and I often buy a really cool looking bottle of something to add to it.

I find the more I spend the less likely I am to drink it too quickly.
As I could with cheaper brands just go through them.

That’s why I spend a bit on them.

Plus, I genuinely like the taste of most alcohol.
So having nice versions of everything is pretty nice for me personally.

Amaretto mixed with Mead, equal parts (50/50) is really nice. Imagine a liqueur which tastes like honey and almonds. :grin:

If we’re going there, my traditional Christmas drink is Guiness with a measure of Advocaat stirred in to it.

You have to stir it because it settles in a lump at the bottom. It makes the Guinness go flat, but it tastes like alcoholic caramel.

A post was split to a new topic: My curiosity is piqued

Done :slight_smile:
