Cilantro

[Guest guest]

I know so many people who can't stand cilantro. Is it the most hated herb? I

didn't like it the first time I tasted it but I sure got used to it fast. My

BIL is from Yucatan and it was added to everything.

The more I ate it the more I loved it.

Now mint, yikes I can't even stand to look at a candycane lol

The first time I used Cilantro, was in my Potato Soup, instead of a little

parsely. I must have over used it. The first time I tasted it, it tasted like

soap, but then I tried it in salsa and I loved it. Now it doesn't taste like

soap at all to me. Funny how tasting something you haven't liked before,

prepared in new way, your taste buds just seem to change overnight. That is

the way it was with Asparagus for me. I had always hated the smell of asparagus

cooking and couldn't eat it without gagging. Then I was somewhere, where it was

disguised in a salad. I never saw it or tasted it, but LOVED the salad. From

then on, the smell and taste has never bothered me. It was so weird to go from

really hating something to loving it. Now I love Asparagus and make casseroles

with it, " creamy " aparagus soup, Asparagus and Leek Chowder and Love to steam

it and squeeze fresh lemon juice over it and add a little salt.
