Cilantro...
The very first time I had cilantro rice at a Chili's, I legitimately thought they sprayed my plate with cleaner. It is now one of my favorite herbs.
That doesn't track with what I've heard about how 'the cilantro gene' works.
But it's more recently occurred to me that I love rose and lavender and violet and 'tastes like perfume' isn't really a bad thing to me? Maybe I just like soap now.

️Similarly, I often see people claim 'supertaster' as a reason for a limited palate, whereas I also think I taste a lot of things more strongly and specifically than other people, but it actually gives me more sensory-seeking issues with food, rather than aversions.
Like if there isn't contrast in flavors and sensations and textures, I find it very difficult to eat.
Previously living with two limited-palate partners was... rough.

@thecrushedviolet same here, regarding sensory seeking and cilantro tastes like soap but I like it.

@thecrushedviolet I don't remember what it tastes like.

@CynAq
Oh, interesting! I don't think I've really heard anyone else say the same. -
Cilantro...
There's also "tastes like soap/doesn't taste like soap and I can take it or leave it"...

Cilantro...
@thecrushedviolet Who are those 5 weirdos in option 2? Not that you actually know, I don't suppose.

@thecrushedviolet Oh, wait. You're one of them. I imagine (and hope) you don't consider being called weird offensive.

️@thecrushedviolet when I learned about the soap thing, I thought “oh that explains why this is on so many tasty dishes but is awful and overpowering.” So I figured I must have the gene.
Over time, I have come to really like the flavor of cilantro. It is really strong and unique, but I probably wouldn’t say “soapy” anymore.
Also what does soap taste like? Wouldn’t soap be kind of a blank canvas and any flavors or smells are added in?

@thecrushedviolet anyway, for these reasons I did not select one of the options in the poll

That’s what I’ve always wondered: what does your soap taste like and why are you eating it?
