  Are you saying I can’t tell the difference between a mango and cilantro?

    Well I figured you either misspoke or were saying that summer people thought mangos taste like soap, which I’ve never heard of happening before.

      I was being cheeky but a bit serious.

      Mangoes taste like soap to some of us. Blame OR6A2 gene.

      But I love cilantro aka coriander. I make my salsa’s/pico cilantro heavy.

      But if I bit into a fresh mango its like eating paraffin and Dawn dish soap. I wish it wasn’t this way, they look awesome to eat…

      I also can’t eat mayo, but thats a whole other story.

      Also another insane thing, I have friends that think cilantro taster like a spice like hot peppers… Genes eh?

        TIL. I’ve got two copies of the original “bitter vegetables taste like poison” gene, unlike those weird mutants who think cabbage cultivars taste like food.
