I'm sorry, I have to disagree with you. I find cilantro both necessary in some dishes and absolutely amazing. There is no other flavor (that I'm aware of) like it. It just tastes so fresh and clean and truly brings life to the dish.

My one complaint is they often don't put enough in. Cilantro whipped with goat cheese or cream is one of my favorite toppings.

Interesting article though. I once had a girlfriend who detested cilantro. I always thought she was being silly but now I realize it was a genetic disorder.
