I actually got this one right. Question--without revealing the answer--do people for whom cilantro tastes like soap (genetic basis) also have difficulties with this herb?

[Mike Nolan]

I wondered that as well, but didn't see anything directly answering the question when I searched.

My wife is one of those for whom cilantro tastes like soap, I am not. Our older son apparently got my genes on that, not hers.

The spice form (also not trying to give away the answer) is not one I use a lot, I don't know if my wife is willing to be a guinea pig for some testing.

BTW, while researching this question, one source said that there are 3 plants that produce both an herb and a spice. The other two might show up in a quiz question some day. 🙂

I've been getting most of the questions right. As far as one of the other 2 plants also produce both herb and spice, I'm trying real hard not to give it away by making a joke....
