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.
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 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’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.
