Cilantro and Celery ruin every dish.

[Anonymus Fluhre]

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.

Celery is there for it's texture not the flavour in many recipes since people get too used to bitter celery. To get a good celery stock it needs enough nutrients and water as well as not being too mature. Otherwise you'll get a disgusting piece of celery.

Since the celery at the grocers tends to be too mature and I don't have the room to grow my own I tend to use leeks instead as a flavour alternative.

I use coriander in many of my dishes as my Asian and European recipes always call for it. When working with chicken and salmon I tend to use tarragon instead.

I like my celery bitter. Bitter is actually my favorite flavor.

When I was younger, cilantro tasted like grass clippings and soap. These days, I can put up with or grudgingly appreciate it in stuff like pico de gallo or pho or Indian food.
