For those like me that have no idea what this meme is about I just searched - https://www.liveeatlearn.com/cilantro/ .
It seems there is a difference in america where people call coriander parts different things like cilanto. Never knew that. Knowing american way of the names of some herbs is already a good achievement for me.
I've always known people that said they can't tolerate or really dislike coriander in food, but never have I heard about the phonmenon of it tasting like soap. I don't think any of those people ever explained the taste as soap, just that they dislike it for no reason, so for me it is just picky people in my mind. But now I learned that it's some genetics weirdness. Always learning.
