Coriander is the work of the devil

[bloodywhitecat]

And has no place in a salad?

AIBU?

Corriander tastes like soap to me!

To be fair it has no place anywhere.

I haven't made up my mind yet OP you've redeemed yourself by saying you like it in a curry but I need to know how to vote on the basis of if you double or triple carb with your curry 😂

In salads? This is why Sue's Salads got run out of town

That Sue and her suspect salads eh? @BlindMedusa

I think as it’s a genetic thing (rather than just personal taste) and something some 25% of the population suffer from then I don’t think it should be included in so many dishes and salads. For those that taste soap it just ruins the whole dish.

We’re talking about a significant proportion of the population.

@CandyLeBonBon indeed 😂 imagine being given the food your food eats ... along with Coriander and no carbs

I love it, and had no idea that there was a genetic component to the perception of the taste. My sister says it tastes like soap. Learn something new every day.

I honestly think I would feel more convivial if you put shit in my salad rather than coriander.

Although I'd hope it's not an either or situation.

Coriander is the worst.

Coriander is my absolute favourite. I’d have it on everything if I could. Tastes floral and delicious to me and not soapy in the slightest.

Me too!

Before about 2002 we managed without coriander, I am sure we can manage now.

@BestestBrownies

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

I know that is supposed to be the case, but I think it tastes like soap and I still like it.

Like PPs have said, it’s genetic - I definitely fall into the “tastes like soap” category! Horrible stuff!

I love it

YABU. It's amazing, especially in salad.

It's proper fuckin grim. Absolutely boils my piss when I order food and it comes with a soapy surprise on it.

I love coriander, but I absolutely hate rosemary, its in everything. Don't even mention smoked paprika or cinnamon.

Yep, called soap weed in our house

Coriander on Indian or Mexican food often makes the dish. It’s delicious.

Coriander in a salad makes me want to cut my tongue out with a rusty knife. Just no.

VU.

Coriander is delicious. I often use it instead of rocket/lettuce/watercress in a salad or sandwich and have even been known to eat it on its own. And it smells so wonderful too.

Completely agree 🤮

So bizarre. I ever realised how polarising a simple herb could be!

I love Coriander. In salad and curry's.
