Yeah, I'm not big on cilantro (coriander to me too) either.
It's one of the things that came up in my talks with Limey last year. Although not literally.
It turns out that I am extremely fussy about a lot of food, while still being able to consume a huge amount. Cumin and coriander I can put up with, but I'm not a fan.

Fennel is a complete deal-breaker for me. Bought a jar of cheap pasta sauce once and knew as soon as I took the lid off that there was fennel in it (in bolognaise?!) I might even have mentioned it here. Never bought it again.

Same with star anise, which used to have me scanning the ingredients list on Chinese Ribs very carefully. Not eating much meat or prepared food these days so it's not such a worry.
