i remember reading a post from the OP about OP's first child and getting the impression the OP was male, but after reading other posts maybe OP is female i dunno... but! cilantro is great stuff
Not a big fan either. Probably because growing up my grandmother put cilantro in everything. Just barbaric. I do notice women seem to love it for some reason.
I like the way it smells but you can't pile it in a dish. I like it if used sparingly. Basically, use it as a garnish.
