When I was very young I worked in restaurant that required me to chop a case of cilantro every day. It was the first I had ever encountered the herb. It smelled strongly of soap, tasted like soap...I thought it was horrid. After my first week, I realized it smelled wonderful and tasted just as good. Today I own a Mexican restaurant and love the stuff. Not sure what happened to flip that switch but I am glad it did.

The first time my mom had cilantro it was in a sit-down restaurant. She thought they hadn't rinsed the soap off of her plate. Poor thing.

I love cilantro but I feel for all of you who it disgusts. I wish you all the best with the most cilantro free life.
