  • I used to hate cilantro because I thought it tasted soapy. Then my kid was telling me about this “gene” one day and I said that I must have it. Then I asked them what they thought cilantro tasted like, and they told me it was onion-y like chives.

    We were at a restaurant at the time and I was eating something with cilantro which is why it came up. So I took a bite and tried to see if I could taste what they meant by onion-y. And damned if I couldn’t make out that chive sort of flavor.

    Since then, I can’t taste the soapiness, it just tastes good.

    So I doubt it is actually a gene of any sort if you can reprogram your brain like I did to get the taste.
