Exactly! Cilantro tastes like soap to me, but my kids love it. That is so weird. Ant smell and probably snake smell are the same I bet. I have heard old people say they can smell a snake around.
I am afraid that cilantro does taste like soap to me but that people around me have been telling me long enough that it’s tasty that I started to like it.
i’ve had a similar experience, at first it was incredibly soapy to me.
now i genuinely like it and i don’t taste the soap anymore.
how could that work though if it’s a genetic trait?
could this be stronger in some variants of cilantro? or even on the culantro/cilantro divide?
I can kind of… plug my sinuses if I’m eating something unappealing? Maybe that’s something you’ve unconsciously started doing when you eat cilantro now?
I’m slightly in this. I love cilantro, but when I heard it tastes like soap to some I just thought “I guess a little bit it does taste that way… but the rest of it tastes better.”

Tldr: I now like the taste of soap.

Same experience here.
