    The first time I had some salsa in a restaurant I was asking if they accidentally poured dish soap into it. It was inedible for me.

    I only learned later that it was cilantro and that it is genetic.

    I am still feeling sorry for the remark, but it was all I could taste and didn’t know any better.

      I worked at a grocery store and the produce department got a big load of fresh cilantro in. My eyes watered as I walked into the back room. I thought they had just done a shitty job of cleaning the floors.
