The I Hate Coriander fan club isn't too tolerant of coriander lovers, however. One Facebook user posted a photo of coriander and commented that she "loves the stuff". The group's members proceeded to call her a "sicko", started talking about how coriander "tastes like soap" and "deserves to be extinct". Meanwhile, the I Hate Coriander official account wished the coriander lover "an absolutely horrible weekend".

The coriander-hating Facebook group is chock-full of absolutely hilarious memes. For example, there are people joking how stirring olive oil into coriander makes it easier to throw it out into the bin. Others describe anxiety as the coriander in the sandwich of life. Obviously, these aren't compliments anyone or anything would be happy to receive.

If you feel that memes aren't going far enough to show off your hatred for the vile herb that is coriander, consider a more permanent way to display your beliefs. There's undeniable photographic evidence that there's at least one person on planet Earth with a tattoo of coriander encircled by the words "I Hate Coriander". Now, that's what I call dedication.

https://www.myrecipes.com/how-to/cooking-questions/cilantro-coriander-same notes that "the more a "cilantrophobe" is exposed to cilantro the less likely he or she is to perceive it as unpleasant. If you love cilantro and regularly cook for someone who doesn't, try adding it in small, well-chopped or cooked amounts to your food, and see if the perception changes." They're trying to poison you!

Enuya 5 years ago (edited)

I like coriander. It has pretty specific taste, yes, but I find it pretty refreshing. And, since I love Mexican food, it suits to many dishes I like. It's like pineapple on pizza - some people like it, some don't, it's all about personal preferences. There is no reason to shame coriander lovers.

36points

Keessie 5 years ago

Well, as the article mentions, some people have a gene coding for making coriander taste like soap. "Taste" as a concept is more of a preference based on past experiences. It's impossible to accurately tell what someone experiences when tasting something. But you can tell (for instance) that pineapple has certain flavors we recognize in other foods. So you could say it tastes sweet and sour and has a specific smell. But someone with the gene will experience (without a doubt) the smell and taste of soap in stead of describing coriander as citrussy or other smells/flavors. So it's not just not liking it, it is as if someone asked you to add soap shavings through your food. I know. I thorougly hate it :)

Yes, Enuya! I also do not see the reasons for shaming people over an herb. It's not as if anyone is MAKING people eat coriander.

Why are coriander haters so special that everyone else deserves to be insulted?

I saw a documentary once explain how when people don't like the way something tastes it's because they don't possess the taste buds for it, so all they taste is bitter, soapy, bland, etc. So I guess all those people you know who claim they hate vegetables and are just "meat and potatoes" type people, now you know they don't have the taste buds to taste the real flavors present in all the foods they hate. This goes for coriander haters as well. I love cilantro, it is an amazing herb. So glad I've got the taste buds for it!

It's actually fascinating that it IS actually a receptor gene that makes it so foul for 10%. Can you imagine the poor people in countries where it is used as a major herb in the cuisine ? Nothing would ever taste good, and as a child you wouldn't be able to identify what tasted so yucky. There are some items that I believe you have to develop the tastebuds to enjoy. I still dislike olives intensely, but I did develop the taste for many vegetables that I disliked as a child...especially beets, which I thought tasted like dirt when I was a kid. But I doubt if you have a specific gene that affects your tastebud you will ever develop the taste for cilantro (just that it is a gene that affects whether you can smell the strong scent of your urine after eating asparagus...everyone is affected, but only a percentage of the population has the olfactory ability to smell it)

Beyond tedious. I love it, but not in place of parsley. My wonderful mother-in-law was visiting from NYC and was making us a Cuba dish called Ropa Vieja, my favorite. She'd gone marketing that morning. I took a look at the parsley, tasted it, and said, Mom, that's parsley. She took a taste of the Ropa Vieja and did a classic spit take. The cilantro ruined it. What's funny is that about 10 years before, in about 1979, we'd all had it in a salad when they visited us from back east, and sent it back because it tasted.soapy. Now I wonder why I like it, since it does taste somewhat soapy to me.

Little known fact: coriander is so challenging to grow because the farmers have to get the balance of fertilizer and dish soap just right.

I was confused until I figured out coriander is the same thing as cilantro

Cilantro is more specifically the leaf; the seed is used as a spice.

Wow, I feel a little dumb right now. I always thought that coriander just tasted like soap and the rest of the world actually liked it.

Don't feel dumb. People eat/drink some really odd stuff. People even drink wine when it's so incredibly bitter.

There are a few other things I hate but could eat it if it was cooked right or I was absolutely starving. But cilantro could NEVER be covered up!

I love the smell of coriander and as an Indian, we generally sprinkle it on every curry, can't beat that flavor.

The leafy stalks are Cilantro. Its the seeds that are coriander, and they don’t taste like cilantro.

In England the whole thing is called coriander, the leaves and the seeds and the ground-up spices made from it. Was very confusing when I moved to the US and had never heard of cilantro.

Yup, got the gene...detest the green leafy cilantro. I do, however, like the ground seeds (coriander here) - it's just the green leafy herb (cilantro to us) that tastes like bitter soap to me.

I don't know what coriander tastes like, but I hate parsley from my guts and I find everything parsleyish looking awful, so I assume this wouldn't be tasty either.

Maybe. But my husband hates parsley, but loves cilantro/coriander. They are two totally different flavors.
