:) I call it "the devil weed." Yuck. My wife loves the stuff. Whenever we make tacos, and I always tell her to make sure to keep that devil weed off my side!

Can't stand it, is very unfortunate that they mix it in the rice at Chipotle. At least the other sauces and hot salsa block the taste.

No kidding, nasty. The first time I went there i saw them spooning that stuff on my burrito and asked what was in the rice and they said "cilantro." I had them start over and make a new burrito.

I love it. I like to use with seafood specifically soup. Helps cover up the fishy smell and adds a lot of flavor to the soup.

I didn't know anyone didn't like it. It's not good guacamole or salsa without it. A ton of other uses for it as well.

There's a genetic abnormality that makes it taste like soap. Pretty weird, but true.

Since I like cilantro, here's a recipe for Cilantro Sauce.

Cilantro Sauce

Place a 50/50 mix of mayonaise and sour cream in a food processor. Add lots and lots of washed, cleaned, chopped cilantro and liquify as desired.
