        That’s fair, people have different perceptions of food stuffs. Like some people hate coriander because to them it tastes like soap

          Cilantro and coriander come from the same plant, coriandrum sativum. In North America, cilantro refers to the leaves and stalks, while coriander refers to the dried seeds. Cilantro has a citrusy flavor, while coriander seeds have an earthy taste with floral notes.

          TIL. This explains why my sibling hates anything seasoned with coriander, as well as any inclusion of cilantro.
