There is a genetic condition where cilantro tastes like soap to about a quarter of the population. Washing kids mouths with soap is/was a common punishment for saying dirty words. Collective punishment is a war crime according to the Geneva convention.
Is putting cilantro in a communal dish that will force people to essentially be punished by having soap in their mouth technically a war crime?
I think trying to make a dish that’s going to please more than 75% of the population is all fine and good, but I think as long as most people like it you’re fine.
Only if it violates the conventions set forth by the office receptionist, Geneva.
Just don’t eat my tacos, Karen. There’s plenty of other dishes everyone else brought. God damn.
I flat out love cilantro. I think the courteous thing to do would be bring a small bowl of it and place it next to your potluck dish so people can put however much they want on it. The correct amount is a lot.
You can have all the detergent flavored parsley
Fuck 'em. Their bloodline is weak.
Finally a genocide I can get behind
Apparently even actual war crimes aren’t war crimes if you just call it a military operation. We’ve always never been at war with the genetic cilantro soapers.
Obama started this war crime 147 years ago and we’re still fighting it today.
No. A pot luck is, well, pot luck. Some people love cilantro. Some people hate other stuff.

I’m a soaper, I just kept on having dishes with cilantro in and now I fucking love it!
Same with olives, used to hate them.
A ramekin to the side for optional cilants would be an option
If the dish is charro beans or salsa, no.
It’s one of the things I think more dishes should disclaim as an ingredient. It’s not that I’m allergic, but I’d rather not waste a burrito by taking a bite and realize I’m not going to be able to stomach the rest of the meal.
Only if you’re at war with neurotic foodies and your country is party to Protocol XVIIIc of the Geneva Conventions regarding taste-based psychological warfare.
No.
