Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 2824814, member: 93"] I used to have the same issue; it wasn't so much a "hatred" of cilantro as much as the "soap" association (I used to say cellophane) and I didn't think it warranted the praise/hype/overuse for Mexican food. I used to go out of my to avoid it but somewhere along the line I stopped caring because it was so omnipresent, and now it doesn't bother me (and actually reminds me a lot of flat leaf parsley). I also learned two years ago that it is the same thing as coriander, which I never knew before (in the U.S. we tend to call only the seed coriander; in India and the U.K. they call the plant that also).
