Cilantro (among other flavours) is an acquired taste.
This herb is central to Latin American cooking.
The first time I was confronted with it I did not like it.
Now I feel something is missing if it is not included as a finishing flavour
in many dishes. Give it a chance - it won't make you ill and in fact adds
nutrition and aids digestion.
I have gone from hating it to actually plucking it from the wild and chewing
it. It is subtle, it is bold, it is all of these.
Regards.
Ken.
