I Hate Cilantro - an anti cilantro community
Mind, comparing it to the taste of death is probably going a bit far. But if some evil but noble minded scientist somewhere managed to engineer a disease that would attack cilantro, and only cilantro, such that the entire world supply died in a month ... can't say as I'd mind that much, except for the cilantro farmers who would be out of work or have to switch to new crops.
(...You know, it just occurred to me that someone out there really does have to grow that stuff. In some sort of bulk, even. Maybe there are only a few cilantro farms in the world. Hmm...)
--Today's title courtesy Suzanne Westenhoefer, although I forget which CD. Either the first or second one, where she takes her sister ("Never been married, never dated, played field hockey all through high school.") onto an Olivia cruise. ("We were there about five minutes when my sister turned to me and said '...THESE ARE MY PEOPLE!' So now my sister's a lesbian...")
EDIT: Dear heaven ... Is there NO end to the evil that can be done with cilantro? I don't even like alcohol, but I share these with you so that if you find yourself with a drink tasting like vegetable enhanced soap, you'll know the reason why.
...OK, I may have added one or two lines to the above recipes in the interests of properly warning you about the risks. But seriously, drinking cilantro? EW.
