Default Do you think cilantro tastes like soap?

If you were a child who used inappropriate language around my mother you would
know as well as I do what Ivory soap tastes like :-)

Cilantro seems to be one of those things that North Americans seem to love or
hate, but judging from the number of ethnic cuisines where it is a common
ingredient, they seem to like it a lot more than most of us. I like it, but
would describe the taste as being more like copper than soap. My wife doesn't
not care for it.
