Aka, Coriander leaves. How do they taste to you?
How often can you harvest?Greg Bernhardt said:I generally dislike cliantro, but it is slowly growing on me. Makes it cheaper too :D
Jimmy Snyder said:I voted for Yes, it does not taste like soap! Soap has a slimy texture, a sickening taste with an unpleasant aftertaste, an overpowering bouquet, and it triggers a gag reflex. I always favor cilantro in recipes that call for soap.
You always find a way to make us laugh: :rofl:Jimmy Snyder said:I always favor cilantro in recipes that call for soap.

I HATE licorice and any herb or vegetable that tastes like it. I can take some fennel seed, but now too much, I usually pick them out of italian sausage. Not fond of star anise either.
CLOVES- The devil's spice, Satan has cloven hooves. Need I say more?
Hepth said:I hate cilantro. It's not that it tastes BAD, but rather that it tastes WRONG. Like something I picked up in a forest, and my natural instincts signal that its poison and to spit it out. An evolutionary not-safe-to-consume label.
I also dislike Fennel (seeds are the worst) in the same way.
I can appreciate the taste of both, but its nearly impossible to get over the repulsiveness of it.
