True enough. I don't think I even experienced cilantro until the early
80s, when Taco Bell introduced its first steak fajitas. First time I
tasted one, I was taken aback by the overwhelming flavor of cilantro.
WTF is this bizarre stuff!? Fortunately, I was not one of the soap
freaks and learned to love the herb. Still do. In everthing from
TexMex to Thai to Indian cuisine.
