    I hate it. It ruins every dish it is added to.

    That's all.

    I 100% disagree with you. I love the leaf and I love the seeds. They both bring great but different flavors to so many different cuisines.

    I didn't like it when I was little but as an adult, I love it. Mexican and SE Asian dishes aren't complete without it.

    I don't think I ever had as a child, but I definitely eat it with Mexican, Asian, and Indian dishes now. It's pretty much a staple in our house, and we usually have it on hand.

    I'm with you on curly leaf parsley, but Italian flat leaf parsley is a different matter. It is a nice touch to some Italian dishes.

    Love cilantro and coriander. Some people's hate of both are worse than just a hate. Many people are allergic to it and could die from eating it (anaphylactic shock). I have a friend who became allergic to several herbs/spices recently - she has to carry an epi-pen with her now. Sucks, because Thai, Indian, etc. foods are awesome and many are loaded with everything she's allergic to.

    i've always been vehemently anti-cilantro.

    it doesn't bother me in green sauce, but if i ever see the actual leaves i have to pick them out.

    i do think it's genetic, or something. tastes awful.

    I don't mind cilantro at all (it would have been hard to dislike it, growing up in my household). I have your reaction to alfalfa sprouts, though. I'm completely disgusted by it.

    Cilantro makes me gag, its one of the worst ingredients you can use in cooking. It tastes awful and overpowers everything else on the food it is on.

    Coriander on the other hand is often times great in beers

    Raw cilantro is one of the best herbs you can add to a dish.
