Cilantro Haters, It’s Not Your Fault

I had no idea there were people who felt this strongly about cilantro - I like it, as long as it's not overdone. And even when it's overdone, it's not "soapy" to me, more like excessively pungent.

Food partisanship doesn’t usually reach the same heights of animosity as the political variety, except in the case of the anti-cilantro party. The green parts of the plant that gives us coriander seeds seem to inspire a primal revulsion among an outspoken minority of eaters.
