I mean… It’s literally genetic. The aldehydes in cilantro usually aren’t strong enough for people to taste. But if you want to know what I taste when I eat cilantro, go crush a stink bug, it’s the same chemical.
Apparently I can desensitize myself to it, and I want to. Certainly would open up a lot of options in foods I’m already a fan of (if you leave out the cilantro).
I’m weird. I can fully recognize the part that taste like soap. It isn’t strong or overpowering, but I can recognize the taste. Still love cilantro for the rest of the flavors it gives. I guess kinda like how beets taste a bit like dirt to me, but I still like beets and beet juice. Or truffle oil having an “earthy” flavor to me.
I wish I could taste the other flavors. That’s actually why I was considering desensitizing myself to it. I get the dirt and earthy, but I love both of those the same. I’ve been growing my palette, but it took me nearly two decades to find hops that I could stand to start desensitizing myself to that bitter.
