Cilantro - Good For Everyone, but not for Child

Cilantro is one of the mainstays of Indian dishes- the namesake chutney is the common dip for Samosas. Cilantro is added to just about every dish, and it can be made into a variety of chutneys. However, some folks apparently just hate this wonderful herb, according to the NYT article.

The Curious Cook - Why Cilantro Tastes Like Soap, for Some - NYTimes.com: "Culinary sophistication is no guarantee of immunity from cilantrophobia. In a television interview in 2002, Larry King asked Julia Child which foods she hated. She responded: “Cilantro and arugula I don’t like at all. They’re both green herbs, they have kind of a dead taste to me.”

“So you would never order it?” Mr. King asked.

“Never,” she responded. “I would pick it out if I saw it and throw it on the floor.”"
