    Isn’t cilantro the one where some people have a gene that makes it taste completely different?

        In other words it’s not cilantro that’s bad, it’s just this guy’s mom grew him wrong and his genes came out all wonky.

          Maybe she “grew me wrong,” but I guess that’s how you people pass judgment on others who aren’t exactly like you in every way. If that means I was grown wrong, then I truly thank God for it.

            My man it’s clearly a joke. Nothing more.

              Then I do humbly apologize for being thin skinned. I’ll force myself to go eat cilantro as a punishment.

                Hahaha shit happens. Seriously though, out of curiosity, would you say it tastes like soap to you? Because that’s what I’ve always heard when it comes to that gene

                  Not soap, exactly, for me it’s more of a bitter flavor. I guess i can see how you could come to like it, like learning to like blue cheese, if you eat it enough. But a lot of foods are overpowering to me that other people eat by the buckets-ful. I think most people have a cast iron gut, which I really envy.

                    Yeah definitely not what it tastes like to me. I don’t know if it’s always supposed to be soap but yeah you have to have that it’s just way off for you. I wouldn’t force yourself like with blue cheese or something. No real point.

        This is the best TIL I have had in the last several months. I always thought they were all just wrong about the taste, but they were actually just wrong genetically.
