A website after my own heart - I Hate Cilantro
Check out I Hate CilantroSupporting the Fight Against Cilantro!Here is one from their stories page:
Welcome! You are visiting the web site of a growing community of cilantro haters. We are, however, rational people. In fact, we are the most rational people on earth. No normally functioning human being would ever in a lifetime consider cilantro edible.
It's the reason you are here. Please browse the site in support of your anti-cilantro confederates and help spread the word any way you can.
"I grew up in Los Angeles eating every kind of ethnic food, and I swear to you that I never encountered cilantro until 1985, at which point it simply appeared to be in all restaurants.
The first time I encountered cilantro, I thought something had gone bad in my salad dressing. It was disgusting. But my friends were all gushing about how delicious it was. I pushed it around on my plate and said nothing. Sometime later, I encountered it again - in a Chinese chicken salad. Again, I thought the salad had gone bad. But no, it was the cilantro.
Now, whenever I see it on the menu in any dish, I tell the waitperson that I'm allergic to it. It's the only way I can ensure that it's not in my food. If I taste it, I can't get the soapy, poisonous taste out of my mouth."
