Is cilantro necessary?

[Dagstag v 2.0]

Hmmm.  Mr. OL gets the asparagus pee and is not a fan of cilantro.  I love cilantro and don't get the asparagus pee.   23andMe has looked at both cilantro and asparagus, I wonder if they're related?

I love cilantro and can smell my stinky pee if I eat asparagus, so I dunno

I think the boyfriend also eats cilantro though.

I will have to get some raw cilantro.  I don't know that it tastes any different than parsley to me.

Sometimes beer tastes like soap to me.  But not always.  Not sure what's up with that.  I think it's when I'm dehydrated.

I think it has a fresh, green taste, if that makes any sense. I actually kind of *get* where the soap thing is coming from, but I don't find that part of the flavor profile overwhelming.

I really love cilantro, but I am careful about cooking with it for guests, because I know people have strong feelings about it.

This.  It adds brightness and freshness to life.
