...completely different. I've been asked so many times why I like Italian parsley and hate cilantro. Because alas, I was cursed with the gene that tells me you just upended a bottle of Dawn soap in my food if it's cilantro. The smell is also completely different - it smells like I've been locked in a room with a thousand stink bugs. It's that very distinct odor but VERY powerful.
I say cursed because I really wish I didn't have the gene, lol, as I love many cuisines that use it liberally. I love tacos! I love pho, I love Indian food.
