It didn't take me long to acquire a taste for it. I liked it the first time I tried it. My wife hates it. The best meal I ever had in my life was shrimp cooked with garlic, diced peppers and tomatoes and just the right touch of cilantro, Every fork full was incredible. I raved about it all through dinner, all the way home and for weeks after. I still think it was the best thing I have ever tasted. |

The problem that many others and I have had is *once* you've had something that had too much cilantro... the slightest amount of it in anything... for years!!!...becomes rubbish. It's been nearly 5 years since I had a bean soup that was over-cilantroed. I am just now being able to tolerate the smallest amount of cilantro in guacamole. Cyndi |

Mom made MUTTON when I was a lad. The heavy permeating odor would get into everything. Just the smell of lamb/sheep cooking makes my stomach queasy. a batch of "gamey" liver will put you off liver for a long time too..
