what do you think/do?
I'm doing fish sandwiches tonight on bollio rolls. I've finely shredded cabbage and iceberg lettuce and tossed them together. I am really tempted to toss a tiny bit of cilantro in either with the lettuce/cabbage or with some mayo/sour cream. I really don't have any other fresh herbs right now except some green onions or some dill that I froze.. Would you do the cilantro or if you had your choice, which of the other two? Further thoughts for the future, please. Thanks Janet US |

Enjoy! I mixed chopped cilantro and green onion with the shredded lettuce and cabbage. Separately, I mixed mayo and sour cream with the juice of a lime, some grinds of pepper and a bit of salt. I spread the roll generously with the creamy mixture then the fish and topped with the greenery. This combo worked out really well and I will do it again. Janet US |

When people say they hate cilantro, they often attribute this food feeling to a soapy aftertaste. Thanks to a new video from SciShow, we finally know why cilantro tastes like soap for some 4-14 percent of the population. "How cilantro tastes to you has a lot to do with your genes," says SciShow's Hank Green. He explains that after conducting a few separate studies, scientists were able to pin down most cilantro haters as people with a shared group of olfactory-receptor genes, called OR6A2, that pick up on the smell of aldehyde chemicals. Aldehyde chemicals are found in both cilantro and soap. Uh, yummy? If you are one of those anti-cilantro folks, at least you know that it's not really your fault and you can blame your parents. To avoid that soapy taste in your dishes, we suggest swapping parsley for cilantro. <http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/entry/why-does-cilantro-taste-bad-like-soap_n_7653808> |

Funny >how coriander tastes nothing like cilantro, though. When I first tried it, it was a totally new taste to me. Some years went by and I wanted to make some Tex-Mex things and I realized that I couldn't get the right taste. The difference was the cilantro in dishes that I had elsewhere. When I first tried to cook with it the smell overwhelmed me, it got on my hands and wouldn't go away and just a little bit was too much in food. Then I started making Pico de Gallo and gradually added more cilantro until now I like it. shrug Janet US |

And/or it's an acquired taste. For me - horseradish, cilantro. The mere smell of the former made me sick, then I tried some with cream. Love it now. Cilantro still tastes strange to me, but pleasantly if used right. Now I want to visit the new Vietnamese restaurant literally around the corner again. ;-D Bye, Sanne. |

I don't know if I'd use "soapy" to describe it, but definitely strange. But in moderation with certain fish dishes, I love it. |

Funny > how coriander tastes nothing like cilantro, though. Actually, very fresh coriander seed tastes quite a bit like cilantro, at least to me. I suspect that the "cilantro" flavor fades quickly, just as it does in dried or frozen cilantro. Cindy Hamilton |

I've given up on cilantro... fortunately I like parsely and that's not soapy. On another similar issue, yesterday I steamed a pound of asparagus just for two minutes to partially cook and then cut into 1" lengths to add to a garden salad for the next day. However when I removed the woody ends as usual I nibbled all the soft parts... another spring phenomena... that night stinky pee! lol But what stymies me is when I eat canned asparagus pee doesn't stink?!?!? I happen to like canned asparagus, what I don't like is their price. |

Internet checks seem to indicate either can be right. On the fish sammie, sounds good but leave out the cilantro for me. Sadly, all I taste is soap for that one. For future ideas, I have a lot of dried spices here. I'd look at a pinch of Korean red pepper (pinch literally, less than 1/8 ts). If Chipotle speaks better to you, then use a pinch of that. For a very different complexion, think minced lemon grass with whites of a chive? -- |

I found out when living in San Diego and eating at a restraunt, that I am a soap taster for cilantro and it will not go away (after turning 2 dishes back where i said the dishes wre not washed right and still had soap on them). They'd seen it before and made me a cilantro free dish and warned me of something i had not known I had. If i *have to* I can tolerate eating a little soap in my food, but that's only to be polite to the cook at a friend's house. I'll push it around and eat mostly anything else that doesn't taste like soap, then tell them it was delicious but I'm full... -- |

Regular cilantro and flat leaf parsely have become so flavorless and tasteless, over the yrs, I don't even bother, anymore. They put 'em right next to each other and it's no wonder, they taste almost the same. I even started usng curly parsely (garnish), jes to get some more parsely flavor. Then I discovered organic flat-leaf parsely. WOW! Parsely times ten!! Organic cilantro is similar in flavor intensity. If I can't find organic, I jes pass. If yer sprmkt doesn't carry any, try a health food store. Jes taste it.  nb |

It's not about organic, it's about frozen. I've frozen my home-grown cilantro and the results were tasteless. Cindy Hamilton |

There are dozens of websites and YouTube videos on how to freeze cilantro, properly: <http://www.wikihow.com/Freeze-Cilantro#Preparing_Cilantro_for_Freezing_sub> nb |

No worries Gary. I didnt know until I was in my late 20's/early 30's that cilantro tastes like soap to me. I hadn't been eating a cuisine that high lit the use of it before then. -- |

People often do not realise that if you chop it finely it will put the flavour in every mouthful of the dish. I usually just pick leaves and add to the dish at the end. That way you get a punch of flavour only when you get one of the leaves. It is also easier to avoid for those who do not like it. Most in my house do not like it so I just pick some leaves and use them on my serving. JB |

We get organic parsley often enough that is not an issue. It's NOT sopping wet and dripping parsley juice into the adjacent cilantro mess, like almost all non-organic parsley piles. In fact, it even stays fresh in my refrigerator crisper drawer for longer than one day, before rotting. Would you believe at least a week!? I actually used ALL of my last parsley bunch! nb |
