I find it similar to parsley . It's not soapy to me, but I'm not a hardcore fan. I guess I can enjoy though, does that count or you are looking specifically for people who sense it like soap and like it too?

I guess that puts you top-center on the coriander compass.

Yeah that's what coriander should taste like. To anyone with the gene, it tastes wildly different to parsley.

I don't taste parsley at all. Love cilantro. No soap flavor. Hate tomatoes. Taste like a juiced corpse. So, I'm convinced parsley and tomatoes have an associated gene.

Hate tomatoes. Taste like a juiced corpse.

There's a gene for that. It's like the Coriander gene but more rare.

Really?! I've never been able to find anything definitive. Just plenty of articles like this one that basically just say: "Tomatoes are gross. Craaazy right?" with no real explanation:

I'm guessing you are not a fan of Italian food! Never heard about someone comparing parsley and tomatoes like this before.

[–] Waldowal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oddly enough, if you cook the tomatoes, it completely takes away the bad flavor. That's puts alot of Italian back on the menu. And parsley is fine - it just tastes like nothing.
