As to cilantro, have given it a go several times, but nope.
(Well, I tried, didn't I? Goddammit, at least I did that)
Does it taste like soap? I've hear that from some people - I know cilantro is one of those foods some people just can't eat/like due to their taste buds being different.
Not soapy, but...quite a disagreeable taste / aftertaste - sort of like Thai basil (LOVE the standard everyday kind though).

Neil Gamby seems to know food...and really know farm fresh food better than most of us....but should we take taco knowledge from a dude from Ohio? Hats off to ya brother....but I'm going with Mexican know how on tacos and salsa,!
Liz ..Dan....we ride tonight!
I'd still love to taste the salsas without cilantro that Neil Gamby cooks up
I used to like it more and then I grew some and it bolted and ruined me on it. When it bolts to seed the flavor intensifies, in a bad way, and it grows like a weed. I had coriander volunteers coming up in earnest for 2 seasons and I still find it coming up in the yard and the woodline 4 years later!

Cilantro I have come to accept is a grow it, harvest it and replant it type of herb. Same thing with lettuce. They don't last long.
Made burgers tonight. Grass fed. Simple salting and cook in a cast iron pan. Lettuce Tomatoes Pickles Heinz And..... breaking from traditional approach I put mustard on. Beer mustard, inspired by our recent posts on the subject of mustard.

THESE, MOTHERFUCKERS
just saying
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Cilantro isn't even from the same continent as tomatoes and chilis, which are the only truly necessary ingredients for salsa.
Also, it's a flavor that is hated by many and it abjectly ruins salsas when overused, or if you are unfortunate enough to buy bolted coriander.
I don't hate it, but I don't find it necessary either. It's like many other herbs, if you can taste it overtly, you've used too much.
Of course, I would never make a salsa of any type without onion, garlic, and salt, but I don't cook anything without the glorious three.
Maybe it's an LA thing.

Just not very much.

My mom planted watercress and mint in the backyard of my first childhood home. Beautiful, and grew wildly, abundantly. And much enjoyed.
