distinctively miserable. It ruins everything it touches
Most Hated Cilantro-Containing Food:
That bad part is it ruins foods that should be good like salsa and Indian food
Do people in your family hate cilantro, too? Who?
Not as much as I do. They can take it or leave it. They think I've gone overboard. I don't know what's wrong with them. Cilantro ruins any food it's in. It's a disaster!
If cilantro were a historical malevolent dictator, who would it be? Why?
George W. Bush, because it comes in looking friendly and harmless, but then it does inexplicable damage to everything it's involved with.
My cilantro story, first experience, recent anecdote, rant, etc...
The first time I tasted cilantro was when it came with a vermicelli noodle dish at a Vietnamese restaurant one of my (former) best friends brought me to. There was a large pile of cilantro on top of the noodles and my friend said it was the most wonderful thing she'd ever tasted, so I took a large bite too thinking it'd be like a cross between lettuce and parsley. I'm sure I turned green and was stricken with a look of pure horror. I'd never had such a disgusting taste in my mouth. The minor bit of good news however, was that the cilantro was in large pieces so was easy to see and could therefore be easily removed from my plate. Since that time though, cilantro has become a mainstay of all types of foods of every ethnicity. Even worse, they tear it up into small pieces and spread it liberally throughout all meals. The little pieces are everywhere and are too small to remove. I need to bring a pair of tweezers with me now when I go out for dinner and spend the first 10 minutes of every meal trying meticulously to get every last drop of that green poison out of my food. But unfortunately you can never get it all and then, horror of horrors, you'll be enjoying a fabulous meal (perhaps Inidan food or Mexican food) and get a bit of cilantro in one bite and it'll turn that otherwise wonderful mean into an assault of bad taste so severe you want to run to the nearest door and spit it out ASAP. Cilantro ruins everything it touches and I don't know why this isn't patently obvious to everyone. I'm so glad to find out that there is a large community of like minded, clear-headed, food-enjoyers out there who are trying to do something about this terrible malady that has afflicted our nation. Something must be done to stop this!!! Thanks for your help in this very important fight against good taste!
