I concur.
Its vile makes your burps taste like soap. And everything tastes of it.
You are totally right.

HeartShapedBox · 23/02/2021 17:36

YABU, coriander is quite nice and salad is minging

Okbye · 23/02/2021 17:37

Totally not being unreasonable! It really is the devils herb😷

If I wanted my food to taste like soap I’d put soap on it. It’s disgusting and ruins anything it comes into contact with 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Can you tell I HATE it?! 😄

BlackForestCake · 23/02/2021 17:37

Coriander is great especially in salads.

Sorry YABU, it's lovely!

purplecorkheart · 23/02/2021 17:40

Coriander tastes like soap and has no place other than the compost heap imo.

Mockolate · 23/02/2021 17:40

YABU, love coriander.

Yogaposer · 23/02/2021 17:41

I love a bit of fresh coriander garnish on Indian curries!

Roussette · 23/02/2021 17:41

Love it!

Love it in salads and on a homemade curry, LOTS of it.

RubyWooRed · 23/02/2021 17:41

YABU
I Looooovvvve it
On a chicken wrap , on a bowl of hot chicken broth , on top of fajitas, yum

shhsecretsquirrel · 23/02/2021 17:43

OMG I'd put coriander on anything. Parsley on the other hand 🤢

Happytentoes · 23/02/2021 17:44

What @shhsecretsquirrel said. Coriander is wonderful; parsley is evil.

InkieNecro · 23/02/2021 17:45

Ban it, companies keep adding it into previously nice food and now it all tastes like soap.

Should be outlawed other than use as a torture method.

muddyboots · 23/02/2021 17:45

Agree. It's worst crime is hiding in plain sight in salads pretending to be flat leaf parsley. Disgusting herby bastard!!

Jaxhog · 23/02/2021 17:46

You are so, so right. It's everywhere - and I'm allergic to it.

BestestBrownies · 23/02/2021 17:46

It’s genetic as to whether you like coriander/cilantro or get an overwhelming (and revolting), soapy/perfume taste from it.

I fall into the latter camp and HATE the vile stuff

Goodnamesalltaken · 23/02/2021 17:47

It has no place in salads, or as bloody garnish on every dishEnvy not envy

Saywhatyoumeanandmeanwhatyousa · 23/02/2021 17:47

It's horrible stuff.

HomicidalPsychoJungleCat · 23/02/2021 17:47

Parsley is fine, coriander is rank.

Cadent · 23/02/2021 17:47

I think if you don't know how to use coriander then you don't know how to cook.

Litthefirealready · 23/02/2021 17:48

Love it - especially in a salad!

Holothane · 23/02/2021 17:48

I’m like this with sweet chilli vile stuff.

FredWinnie · 23/02/2021 17:48

YANBU
It tasted vile but I've got used to it now
The getting-used-to-it phase took ages though
