Default PSA...

Alright, so... if you haven't tried a certain food item (ie: cilantro) and aren't sure you'll like it... don't make a recipe (ie: a giant batch of pico de gallo) where it's one of the few ingredients in said recipe. You'll just end up spending more time than you'd care to admit picking out the leafy green shrapnel with ninja-like OCD skillz.



That is all.

Yeah, I acquired a taste for paste when I was a kid (boy I bet that explains a lot) ROFL

I will say, the soap taste has pretty much neutralized in my Pico on day 2 and is quite pleasant. I think the tomato killed it LOL

The soap or detergent taste is a very common reason for dislike of cilantro. There is probably something genetic about those of us that can taste that chemical compound. Here is an article about it:

FYI - Julia Child hated cilantro.
