My mom used to add cilantro in scrambled eggs too.  We both love cilantro, I think it enhances foods, love it in soups, too.

Cilantro is one of those foods that you either like or dislike it...no in between.  Reminds me of anchovies; it's love or hate them.

Love it.

I love it but I only use it my SW Chicken Tortilla Soup.

@ciao_bella Great analogy! I like both and always have anchovies in the cupboard.

Do you like cilantro?

I think it tastes like soap!

@Itsjustme4 : Interesting. Learned something new.

that means you have the gene OR6A2.  People with this gene find that cilantro tastes like soap.

I love it and don't have the gene mentioned above by @Itsjustme4 . I've read that those who love it and don't feel it tastes like soap are the normal ones, the ones of us who love it are abnormal. Doesn't matter to me, being normal is probably not something I subscribe to. We have a noodle/soup restaurant in town that puts it in almost every single dish they offer. A friend and I went and, when she asked the waitress to have the cilantro kept out of the dish, the poor waitress just had that deer in the headlights look. I try to grow a plant every summer and use it very sparingly in my salads; I always add a little to the store-bought salsa to kick it up.

I like it in small doses--doesn't taste soapy to but not really a fan.
