i like coriander seed a lot. good flavor.

i am pretty sure that i am a cilantro soap guy because i remember really hating it as a kid and at least up through college and it does have a soap-like aroma. but i can't tell for sure anymore because i live in Cilantro City and there's no way to avoid it and i've just become used to it like you get used to beer or black coffee. it's just "oh yeah, this is that soapy flavor that's in food, it's fine though, you eat this." shrug

i have some reservations about the cilantro soap gene stuff. the popular nature article from 2012 is, i assume, decent, but ultimately it was done by people at 23andMe, frames a lot of the data in terms of the continents of your ancestry, and the claimed link is on the level of "if you have two copies of gene xyz there's a 15% chance you don't like cilantro, while if you have zero there's a 11% chance you don't like cilantro".

this is hardly a scientific takedown, but, eh, can they possibly have adjusted for confounding factors to a point where this is something to believe in?

e: (not that it matters much of course, just echoing your "i ate it a lot and now i'm fine with it")
