There are no inherently good or bad flavours

X is in the eye of the beholders are the worst.

You can fool yourself into thinking shit tastes like sugar all you want but subjective reality and the reality your brain perceives should not be conflates lol.

Shit should taste bad though, given that it is bad for you to eat. This is not the case for cilantro, so why not retrain your brain to like it?

All I was offering is a strategy that has worked for me, and many other people. I used to hate cilantro and despised its omnipresence in certain cuisines. I can now enjoy these things and you possibly can as well, if you choose to do the work. If you’d prefer to whine instead of attempting to solve the problem you said you have, that’s on you.

  Do you genuinely believe people who eat cilantro regularly in cilantro dishes haven’t already naturally done what you’ve said… or did you genuinely think offering up exposure therapy to someone on Lemmy memeing about how shit cilantro tastes would be good genuine advice… then clutch your pearls despite everything I’ve typed so far lol?

    I hadn’t tried exposure therapy and it worked for me. Naturally I want to share that. If you’ve really tried it and it didn’t work, that’s unfortunate, but that doesn’t invalidate the approach for everyone.
    
    Nobody’s clutching their pearls, I was just pointing out that I was trying to help and you’ve chosen to attack me. I’m sure you’ll continue to do so.
