Basically the opposite for me, it always tastes like soap but if there's only small traces of it I can almost taste what I assume it's supposed to taste like.

Im pretty immune to it, I can generally eat a decent amount of cilantro and it tastes fine to me.
Now parsley, on the other hand, tastes disgusting to me in anything other than small amounts. Other people tell me it doesnt taste like anything, but its like mildewy grass to me.
I wonder if it's a psychological thing. Like if you can find a person that doesn't know cilantro and coriander are the same and you gave them both if they would say they both taste like soap.
It does not taste like soap to me but I do not like it. Despite that, if I force myself to eat it I'll eventually start getting used to it. And for some reason, cooked cilantro (e.g. fried rice) tastes much better.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

Not an issue for me but I do have something similar in another food. I'm one of those people that HATES blue cheese of any form because it smells and tastes like vomit to me and will legit make me puke and I guess because of some gene I'm extremely reactive to the butyric acid in it that is also in vomit and this is a documented food thing too in some people. Though it is in parmesan too and I don't react to that so I don't know.

I never had the soap problem with cilantro, but I didn't like it when I was younger, regardless. As I've gotten older I find it much more palatable. It's a strong, distinct taste, so I understand why people don't like it, gene or no gene.
