What is your opinion on cilantro?

[JoeP]

The haters generally describe it as soapy or metallic, while those who love it describe it as fresh, herbal, green, and heavenly.

I love the stuff on virtually all foods: Chinese, Thai, Mexican, Egyptian, Tex Mex, salads.

Those that do not like it: I actually feel a little sorry for them, because they're missing out on an entire taste dimension that cannot be paralleled. Kind of like trying to describe the beauty of a rainbow or breathtaking painting to someone who is color blind.

Like it or hate it?

I would have to agree - I love it!

At Salsa time it can't be beat.

It's awful. It tastes like when I put my car keys in my mouth because my hands are full. The smell might be worse, though. It makes me nauseated.
