Does cilantro have a "dishwashing liquid" taste when used in large quantities?
I tasted an Asian soup recetly that left a taste of dishwashing liquid in my mouth...sorry I don't remember what the dish was called. I thought it was cilantro I was tasting byt I'm not quite sure. I tried asking, but the language barrier got in the way. Any feedback?
Answers:
Cilantro is an herb which you either love or hate. Believe it or not, this has to do with your tastebuds.
For some, it has a fresh wonderful earthy flavor or for others (like yourself), your tastebuds translate it into a soap-like taste. You are not alone, there are lots of people who hate cilantro for this very reason!
