Except of course with the poor souls who think coriander tastes like washing their mouth with soap (apparently).

It's real, about 15%-20% of the population have a gene, probably OR6A2, that makes coriander taste like soap to them, and not just a small amount but an overpowering taste since they're particularly sensitive to the aldehydes in coriander. If you ever encounter someone with this and feed them your dip, you'll know about it.

Yeah, I know about that. I suspect I have another deficiency; I really, REALLY like coriander. I eat it like it were veggies ;D
