Rep Power: 1 | I can deal with a very very little in a dish, but it still tastes soapy to me. You put too much in a dish and it is like you squirted Dawn dish detergent in it, I'm not kidding! And yes I did get my mouth washed out with soap as a kid, my aunt did it, my mom wasn't happy about it.
My friends used to think I was just being picky, so I e-mailed them a link to the Ihatecilantro website, they don't give me crap anymore!

Rep Power: 10 | Herbs and spices in small doses are fine, but some restaurants are going over the top with this Cilantro craze. I want to taste the food, not have it be overpowered by seasonings.

What I don't like is when a dish doesn't mention it, but it is sprinkled all over like parsley!
