Actually, technically, it's a superior sense of taste. We are actually tasting what we think we're tasting. It's the rest of you that aren't.

No, if you eat cilantro, then what you are tasting is cilantro. If you think you're tasting soap, then what you think is wrong.

To put it another way: what you are "tasting" is a chemical component that is present in both cilantro and soap. That chemical component is not soap, but your brain is unable to sort out the difference between soap and everything else with that chemical in it. It's like having a strange genetic defect that renders you unable to tell the difference between a woman and a trans, because while your eyes are finely tuned to pick up on a narrow range of visual cues, like dresses and lipstick, you lack the capacity to interpret those visual cues against the rest of a person's body and facial structure. Yes, troons are disgusting, and yes, troons wear lipstick - but many things wear lipstick, perfectly enjoyable things. It's not just something for troons.

We know it isn't soap, but the point is, we can taste that chemical, and apparently other people can't.
 
Celery Salt is pretty good. It’s in a lot of spice mixes I use. I eat it on its own with ranch dressing and put it in gumbo too.

Cilantro is great in Asian and Latin Cuisine but otherwise a gentle touch is the way to go with it.

Normal people taste the chemical, too, but they don't associate it with soap - because it isn't soap and their genes aren't defective.

Also, while we're on the subject... who eats soap, anyways? The cilantro-intolerant tend to say things like "it takes like soap" and "it tastes like stinkbug", but who's eating soap and stinkbugs, really? Do mutants eat stinkbugs frequently enough to compare and contrast the flavours of stinkbugs and cilantro?

Us mutants have this thing called "a sense of smell".
 
Everyone has a preference on food. I personally can’t stand Sweet Potato anything. I won’t eat raw tomato unless it’s diced. I don’t like Ice Cream or Cotton Candy. I’m sure there’s people here who think that’s blasphemy but it’s just my palette.

derail time: what about fucking rocket and lollo rosso and lemon on my plate every time i go to a restaurant and whatever dish i order. sure a bit of lettuce in my burger is fine and even a little squeeze of lemon on some squid rings, but every fucking dish? lemon with steak? bullshit. and lollo rosso is just lettuce bred to look pretty but swapped nice colour for foul taste. rocket might be ok with grilled goats cheese and caramelised onions but not next to my lasagne or salmon with gnocchi. someone needs to visit every catering school and instruct the next generation of chefs that they dont need to put handfuls of the latest trendy salad, garnish and other shit all over a perfectly good plate of food. also goes for other hipster shit like quinoa (smells like the used condom you threw under the bed 2 months ago) and all that other shit. and why cant i buy meat products without finding soya in the small print? if i wanted beans i would buy beans and pay bean prices. if i wanted to grow tits i would cut my balls off. but no i dont, i want meat. a nice sausage or beef mince, some chorizo, or a juicy burger. fuck soya. comrade stalin had a good reward for those caught adulterating food products.

I haven't seen people do that with lemon in a while (probably because lolcheap) but yeah I recall a long stretch through the 90s when restaurants were like "whatever, just throw a damn lemon in just in case"

yeah sometimes I wonder if I have that issue and I just don't eat enough soap to parse it as soap?
but I think it's probably just using too much
 
Celery is ok in small amounts when it's mixed in a stew or a stir-fry.

Cilantro is the devil's garnish.
 
My favorite thing rn is a chicken bowl from Qdoba with cilantro on top. Combos well with the rice/bean/verde salsa and i throw Chalula sauce on top which mellows out the Cilantro a bit. Dunno why but its honestly one of my favorite herbs.

Unlike Rosemary which is so aromatic and pungent/bitters way fast
 
I fucking love celery and cilantro. Cilantro in thai food is especially tasty and I always ask for extra whenever I get some Tom Kha Gai. Celery Sticks with peanut butter and raisins are especially tasty.
 
Celery is an essential aromatic base in a lot of cuisines. If you're making a stew or sonething and taste individual, crunchy bits of celery at the end, then you're not sweating your vegetables enough, period. You're just not noticing it with onions, peppers and the like because they're far more forgiving when undercooked.

One tip is to snap celery stalks in half before you chop them. This exposes the fibrous strands that run along the length of the stalk, and allows you to easily pull them out.

And I don't know about anybody else, but parsley also has an awful taste to me. Any time I'm out and I know it's on a dish I ask for them to leave it off.

I don't like parsley either, it's just bland and bitter to me. Don't care if dried parsley is sprinkled on my food though as that just adds color but little flavor.

I always gotta double check when buying fresh cilantro at the store or cilantro seeds/plants for growing because parsley looks like cilantro's retarded cousin.

I personally don't like lemon/lime on meat at all, lemon pepper chicken is a waste of chicken and keep the lime off my shrimp tacos. Orange is fine though, orange chicken is solid chink food and it's good in carnitas.

It's definitely the shittiest herb in my opinion. I'm not a fan of dill, but at least it does what it's supposed to. Parsley is like what a lot of people imagine bay leaves to be, it imparts barely any flavor and what little it does isn't particularly nice. Even as garnish it is underwhelming.

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!

I never make tuna salad without celery. I've never even heard of anybody putting tomato in it. Are you saying you chop tomato and put it in the tuna salad?

No, chopped up would make it too watery. I put the tomato sliced and on top of the tuna salad for a sandwich. It doesn't really work outside of one. Chopped up celery is good with either though.

The water part was what I was thinking about. I’ve had tuna sandwiches with a slice of tomato but it made the bread soggy; I guess mayo on the bread would prevent that but mayo on bread for tuna salad is a fuckload of mayo.
