Cilantro and Celery are both things that have absolutely nothing to do with whatever you're cooking.

Celery is great on its own and is a good healthy snack that has fiber for you to take your shits and doesn't make you fat like cookies and chocolate. But mixing it with shit like lasagna or chilly ruins it. It has no substance that adds to the flavor it makes your dish feel diluted and watery.

Cilantro however, has no redeeming qualities. I have no idea why anyone associated this with something to put in your mouth. Someone made thread saying it tastes like crushed bugs and he is right. Have you ever smelled the blood of a grasshopper or a beetle, that's cilantro and it's shit and should stay the fuck away from my salsa and burritos.
 
Cilantro is good, you probably just have the gene that makes it taste bad, that's a thing

Celery I don't have an excuse for, I don't really get it. Most of the time it doesn't taste anything. I don't think it ruins things but I don't feel it's worth the effort to add to most things either.
 
yeah celery I'm kinda neither here nor there on, threw a fuckton of it in with a pot roast I did the other night because roomie buys a lot and never eats it so it was that or throw the shit out
but yeah fuck cilantro
it doesn't taste like soap, it tastes like it might have been okay if you used a little bit but you threw in a fuckton, fuck it, and fuck you.
 
Both are good. Cilantro is good if used sparingly. Too many people act like it’s salt and use way too much of it. Celery is a great snack and I love using them in soups as well.

Holy crap, I guess I'm one of the 3% of the population. I wish I knew this when I was a kid so I could have a reason to tell my mom why I didn't want any cilantro on my food.

Now I know why everyone thought I was crazy whenever I told them it tastes like stinkbugs.

This is one heck of a revelation.

Celery is a delicious addition to tuna salad. I'll sometimes skip the tomato in its favor.

Dipped into peanut butter it makes for a great snack. It's nature's spoon!
 
Celery is fine as part of an aromatic base for most European cooking and as a stand alone snack for the health conscious. Celeriac (celery root) is better if you want to impart more celery flavor into a dish.

Cilantro/corriander is best used sparingly. To those of us without the cilantro revulsion gene it has a pleasent but sharp citrusy taste. A little goes a long way. If you are unable to eat cilantro then parsley is a fine enough substitute.
 
The only way I can eat celery is if it's sliced so that I can just pop it into my mouth, rather than the stick everyone fucking does.

I don't want to fucking floss my teeth with celery.

Explain yourselves! Why do you like cilantro?

Its a nice, bright, floral herb with a strong flavor that adds a specific and unique "hmm-whats-that" to every dish its added to. It adds depth and dimension to flavors without necessarily being a dominating flavor itself. It also brightens up otherwise heavy flavors and adds a complementary note to a lot of thing it's added too, it pairs well with acidic foods like citrus.

I havent eaten soap since Im a good boy and never got my mouth washed out, so I think its a matter of does cilantro taste like soap or is soap cilantro scented (I dont have the gene for that anyway, its uniquely different from generic dish soap although it is a bit floraly and kinda pepper-y and grassy)? I mean they have cucumber lime whatever, shit. Frankly I think most basil is worse smelling and way too pungent.
 
I know my way around a good Gumbo-American cookbook, and I think the issue with celery is that modern farmed celery is a flavorless replica of a vegetable that used to have taste. I would rather save the stems for some kind of bullshit stirfry to get rid of it, but celery leaves have lots of flavor that goes well in a dish. If I'm using a recipe that calls for celery, I halve it, use the leaves, and split the difference between onions and poblano pepper, typically.
