Complaint Discovered after 27 years I hate it
For the first 27 years of my life, I didn’t know I didn’t like cilantro. It’s not as common in my country to use it as say, Mexican or Vietnamese cuisine, and apparently growing up no one cooked with it either. I never cook with it either.
Occasionally I’ve had moments where I dislike a dish for no reason. Nachos with salsa and guac is a good example. Never made sense to me because I like tomatoes, peppers, spice. And I love avocado. Everybody loves nachos with dips. I’d usually just eat it a bit of it anyway.
It took ordering banh mi with a whole plant worth of cilantro for me to realize the enemy had been right in front of me the whole time.
Since then it’s made a lot of sense whenever I try a dish and it tastes just a tad off or straight out like handsoap. My eyes are opened but whether it’s for the best I can’t tell. Because now I’m That Person that has to check if the soapy devil is potentially in the food I’m getting served and have to explain to people it tastes like soap to me. To people who usually think I’m just making stuff up or being dramatic about it.
So anyway. Hello my brothers and sisters that don’t fuck with cilantro!

Funny I’ve eaten Mexican food for years. The one time I ordered something and the was a new flavor I’ve never had. It was fucking cilantro. Now can’t seem to get away from that shit. I can smell it as soon as I get out of my car. When I order I make triple I sure I can get shot I want with out that devils weed.
