Cilantro--ptui!

I once went to a pot luck dinner... got my plate, took a spoonful of this, a spoonful of that. I'm interested in trying new tastes. One dish looked like a green cobb salad, all finely chopped--a spoonful. When I sat down and began to eat, I took a bite of this "salad" and found to my disgust that the main ingredient was cilantro. UGH. I don't mind a little (that is, I can tolerate) in salsa. But I'll pass on any dish that features that flavor. It definitely evokes "soap" for my palate.

Mercury.

The metal. When I was a little kid, I bit down on a thermometer with the expected disastrous results. Blood and crying and pain and spit and that taste. I occasionally get a whiff of it but I don't know where it's coming from. Very distasteful. *shivers*.

I'll stand pat. If I can come up with anymore, I have three choices in reserve.
