I've heard (whether it's true or not) that if you think cilantro tastes like soap, you are allergic to it. And all allergies do run from mild to awful; if you eat enough cilantro your mouth will itch.
I'd be interested to find out the ethnicity of those who hate cilantro. I'm mainly Brit/German...
Allergies are inherited, right? Certain ethnicities are predisposed to lactose intolerance. I have that too.
And I'm allergic to shrimp. It makes me puke. I like it, but it doesn't like me.
