<p>My dh can’t stand it. Says it’s like eating soap.</p>
<p>DS and I love cilantro, DH thinks it tastes like soap. He does love anise, licorice and I can’t stand it.</p>
<p>Beet “residue” flowing through your…er, ah…plumbing? Let’s not go there TatinG. LOL.</p>
<p>As for beer and such, good point. I though liquor was the most God awful stuff I’d ever tasted. Took a swig inadvertently from the Vodka Dad left in the refrigerator when I was a kid. Now of course I feel that fine spirits are a gift from the Almighty.</p>
<p>LOVE cilantro. My husband grows it. What I don’t like is lavender! That tastes like soap to me.</p>
<p>I can take cilantro in moderation, but I hate anise flavors.</p>
<p>Thanks for the article on the asparagus effect. I had to laugh at the statement that “more work needs to be done” on whether the ability to smell it is genetic.</p>
<p>Just have to ask . . . this research is important for what purpose? </p>
<p>I like cilantro. DH doesn’t. Mildly interesting, I guess. An important research question? No.</p>
<p>Any research dollars spent on useless cilantro studies would take funds away from essential asparagus urine odor work.</p>
<p>^ belly laugh on that one, Hunt.</p>
<p>Now, I would be all for a study on tastes in booze. My DH is obsessed with Pinot Noir and invests a fair amount in the stuff and I find it repugnant – like pink, sour water. But give me a good dark beer and I’m in heaven. He has to leave the room when I imbibe. This is a serious issue.</p>
