I did not know that. I do know about the huge segment of the population that tastes soap when they eat cilantro. That's genetic.

When I was a kid mushrooms used to make me mildly unwell but I grew out of that.

I’d have to look Cilantro up , but actually I’m trying a new beer which feels tainted by a vague soapy taste

There’s something scientific about kids not liking veg that much because of something undeveloped in their taste buds which accentuates this, which changes as they get older , something about a bitterness ..... I remember hearing it in a documentary, but can’t find a reference right now.

I’m glad I’ve only got one soapy beer as a tester.

EDIT: Coriander - ahhhh

I'd read that too. It's why kids often hate broccoli and cauliflower.

Yep. In North America coriander usually refers to the seed and cilantro refers to the leafy greens, but they are the same plant. I believe people who get the soap taste from the leafy greens do not experience that with the seeds.

Yeah, Brits call it coriander. As differentiated from Koriand'r, the DC character also known as Starfire.

I don't like broccoli because broccoli sucks. It's not bitter--it has no flavor. Broccoli rabe is bitter, but I kind of like broccoli rabe.

You're not cooking it right, Broccoli is lovely, although I prefer the purple sprouting broccoli variety

There's no right way to cook broccoli. Well, it's okay in a broccoli cheddar soup, but you can't really taste it. Which is par, because broccoli has no flavor anyway.


Broccoli is far from my least favorite vegetable, though. That honor has to go to Brussels sprouts. Even kale has one preparation I enjoy (baked into chips), but sprouts are basically universally sour little cabbages.

Agreed. I'll add turnip, swede, and cauliflower (when not slathered in cheese sauce, cos of course everything tastes good that way),
