I like caraway bread (at least, I love the one a local restaurant does, they serve really great freshly-made flavoured bread before every meal), but goulash tends to be a bit too caraway-heavy for me. For me it's not a flavour that goes with meat very well, but obviously plenty of people disagree.

i read somewhere that cilantro-hate was down to a certain enzyme that some people have?? it doesn't really taste soapy to me, but it tastes... unfood-like. i don't know how to explain it any better. but the taste of it always seems completely foreign and out of place to me. i avoid it like the plague.

Picked up some fresh culantro (check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eryngium_foetidum ). Going to teach myself some basic Puerto Rican dishes over the weekend.

Nasty stuff. I'm really sick of picking it out of things when restaurants fail to mention it on the menu.

I didnt know that coriander seed tastes diff to coriander leaf. Hm. I might have to re-taste powdered coriander for my curries. I'd been avoiding it assuming it tasted like the leaves do.

ground coriander seed is kind of cumin-y if I recall...?

Oh ok, see I like cumin :)

You don’t taste cilantro, you smell it. You smell it before it’s in your mouth, and as you put it in, but it isn’t good for much after you start chewing.

Taste and smell are intertwined of course, but I definately taste cilantro. We eat a lot of fresh herbs as vegetables (rather than seasonings/garnishes) however -- dill, cilantro, basil, various types of mint. My partner prepares a lot of traditional Vietnamese and Lao dishes, and cilantro is a staple of that cuisine.
