I knew everyone has different tastes, but never knew it could be as specific as cilantro tasting like soap. I guess that's why some people hate Mexican food.
We found you can buy cilantro in plastic tubes in the produce section at the supermarket. Although fresh is better, these tubes last much longer in the fridge. They contain a liquidy paste of coarsely crushed leaves, which we think tastes much better than dried.
I never heard of it except in Mexican dishes, so yes, calling it cilantro in the US is from the Spanish, not English.
