Meg sent this out recently, and I'd seen it, too - neat article discussing reasons some folks don't appreciate the verdant, aromatic deliciousness that is cilantro.
Turns out there is a chemical reason many describe cilantro as tasting like soap: Both share the same kinds of fat molecules called aldehydes. A recent Japanese study suggests that crushing cilantro leaves may allow these aldehydes to dissipate, and the article says that preparing a cilantro pesto may be a nice stepping stone to go from a cilantro hater to a cilantro lover!
