Thanks, Doug.

@Alex: Many people who don't like cilantro are so-called supertasters, whose sensitivity to certain flavors, particularly bitter ones, is unusually strong. See, e.g., http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=98695984

@Robert, No preference. I tend to consume it during happy hour at the corner bar.

Nice to see you, Alex in Illinois!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:18am Doug Schulkind:

A predisposition to find cilantro revolting has been found to be genetic. My mother, sister and daughter share my distaste for it. My mother will get violent with a waiter if cilantro is a dish she orders having first asked if it contained the herb. My wife thinks we're all crazy and loves cilantro.
  11:19am Dean:

@Doug, Your wife could be correct. There is a genetic basis, too, for craziness.

Hi Doug. I have been listening since the start. Started out in my car with the smartphone app playing as I was arriving to work.

Cilantro is one of those hotly debated tastes that, upon tasting it, made me wonder where all the debating heat and adamancy comes from. It's not like Icelandic hákarl or sumthin'. It's that "no accounting for" thing...in decorating, art, music or herbs.
  11:28am tr//sh:

@b/p What does hákarl taste like??
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:28am Alex In Illinois:

@Doug: the NPR article does not conclude that Supertasters are the ones that hate cilantro. Instead in concludes that it is the smell that makes a difference, and the cilantro haters are not detecting the aromatic compounds, but are detecting mostly the malodorous unsaturated aldahydes compounds. The article does conclude that it is genetic.

While I like cilantro, the possibility of even trying hákarl is so far away I couldn't see it even if I had my own personal Hubble.

Before they settled on "Everybody plays the fool...", The Main Ingredient considered a version of the song that said, "Everybody excretes the asparagus compound in their urine..."

I my pre-epiphanic state, I perceived the flavor of cilantro as being akin to licking a 9-volt battery or eating detergent. Now, hot/sour/cilantro is my holy culinary trinity.

Good morning and happy Friday y'all.

Now that I know that hákarl exists, I will have to try it, as long as it does not jiggle like jello.
Uncle Michael: I think I have only had the kind of chimichurri with the cilantro, but since I now know that it also exists without it, I will have to try it that way too.

@βrian: When I was a kid, the St. Louis zoo used to have free-roaming peacocks walking around there all summer. And yes, we became familiar with the hi-ya calls they would utter.

@UM, a friend of mine lived close enough to a zoo w/ peacocks that he could hear them from his window. The zoo's capybara, unfortunately, was silent and stoic as usual.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:50am Alex In Illinois:

Don't DSLRs have an F stop setting? Or did F stop get replaced with another term, the way ASA became ISO?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:51am Uncle Michael:

Alex, yes...anyone that knows how to use a dslr knows what f-stops are.

I use the F stop when I go to one of Mac's and the Barber's events in Carrol Gardens. Just saying.

My digital camera has virtual f stops as one of its options. I mean one of the many, many secondary features that the vast majority of consumers never use. Most people I meet don't even know how to turn off the flash.

@Uncle Michael: Good, because I have been thinking of buying one soon, and would not buy one if it didn't.
@Doug: The average point-and-shoot digital camera usually does not have an F-stop control, but a DSLR is a Digital SRL, so it is a digital camera with F-stop control (and all of the other good stuff that SLRs have).
