A friend at mine at work told me that cilantro is famous for tasting like dish detergent...it doesn't taste like that to me...have y'all heard of that?

I can't say I've eaten much dish detergent, but I do grow cilantro every summer and I've never had any taste soapy.

DCG: I grow cilantro all the time and never had it tasting like dish detergent. Did your co-worker spill some near the plants while they were seedlings??? Just asking!
