Notes

There is a small percentage of people who have a genetic trait where cilantro doesn't taste good to them.

I mean, some people might not like it but there are some who just can't help it.

I hate to say this word in reference to a recipe but some people actually think cilantro tastes like soap. They can't help it. It's genetic.

So, why I tell this story is because you don't have to use the cilantro if there is anyone you know that has that aversion. You can leave it out or sub parsley.
