Honest question. I’m terrified of failure ;-;
Anyway, I know I’m not the only one who’s wished hand soap was edible.

    Dunno about cilantro but Lipton Ice Tea Lemon (at least here in Germany) tastes like the highly toxic cleaner we used to clean printer stereotypes when I was jobbing at a paper cup manufacturer.

    And FuzeTea Lemon tastes like Pustefix soap bubbles.

        My username isn’t a portmanteau of accident and death for no reason.

        In all seriousness though, the cleaner just smelt like the ice tea tasted. The day I first used the cleaner I actually had Lipton Lemon on my way to work and was caught a bit off guard by the smell.

        Edit: FuzeTea definitely tastes like the soap bubbles though. The specific brand even, not just any. Source: I was a child once.

    To answer your question: You did a good job, that’s the organic, locally sourced memes I crave. 5/5 would chuckle again bee fingerguns emoji

  • I’m sorta in the third category. It used to taste like soap. Then I purposefully ate it a handful of times. Something flipped in my perception of it and now I like it. I read the soap thing is genetic, but I think what happened to me is more like the compounds that are shared between smelly feet and cheese where the context defines how the scent is interpreted. I’m very sensitive to some flavors. I’ve only had pine nuts that didn’t taste rancid once in my life and that rancid flavor gets stuck in my mouth for hours. Truffle oil just tastes like mold. But Bleu cheeses taste fine. Taste and its interpretation is complex.

      It’s what the Americans call coriander leaves. If you haven’t come across that name either it is indeed a herb.

        I had no idea the term wasn’t used in other places. That’s interesting. I’ll have to keep that in mind in the future.

          What is even more confusing is that apparently, “cilantro” is only used for the stems and leaves, while the rest of the plant (the seeds especially) are still called coriander.

    Weird story:

    I like cilantro, but there was one Dr. Oetker’s frozen pizza that had cilantro on it that somehow tasted like garbage diapers to me. Idk, maybe someone put actual garbage diapers on it in the factory.

    I don’t trust frozen pizzas now… still like cilantro though.

      That’s what you get if capitalists don’t allow workers sufficient bathroom breaks.

        It’s just an efficient use of resources. Why flush all those valuable effluents away when we can sell them?

    It tastes like soap and I feel neutral towards it. Mangoes also taste slightly soapy to me, especially if they’re not totally ripe yet.

    And you’re doing great

      On the subject of other things that taste like soap, oregano also tastes like soap to me. I can’t tell if I’m blessed or even more cursed for liking that taste.

      Unless you’re talking about the seeds… I’m pretty sure that’s only what British people call it

    Genuinely confused. It has a fresh scent/flavor. Would I be upset if soap smelled like it? No?? I mean I think some soaps smell like cilantro, but it’s not like taking a bite out of an Irish spring bar… Can’t tell if I have the soap gene or not, like what kind of soap is it supposed to taste like?

      I think the fact that your refer to it as having a fresh flavor means you don’t have the gene… but idk, im pretty sure i don’t have it either and this whole talking about senses over the internet thing is kinda like trying to describe colors to blind people.

        Yeah, I didn’t know that chocolate and shrimp weren’t supposed to burn when I ate them until I was about 21 when it finally clicked. Both of which were foods I enjoyed. 🤷
