I just discovered that coriander and cilantro are the same thing. Oh, coriander. You sounded like such a nice little spice. But you're an evil herb in disguise.
Aha! I see that the seeds are what I always thought of as coriander. But the leaves are cilantro! BASTARD.
I think coriander is cilantro seeds. So yeah, the same plant but quite different in flavor and application.
Except in Europe. There, coriander can mean either the seeds or the leaves. I think.
Cilantro is the one that tastes like soap, right?
Supertasters think cilantro tastes like soap. Poor bastards.

The rest of you are just pretending that cilantro tastes good. And that sweet corn is sweet.
I hate having a sense I can't rely on to give accurate information.
Not a supertaster and I think cilantro is teh nast.
I don't think cilantro tastes like soap; I just hate it and its leafy awfulness getting in the way of my food.
I am a supertaster by most tests, but I love cilantro, and don't think it tastes at all like soap. Broccoli, though, is evil and should be banished, as should all green peppers.

interestingly,I love cilantro. But, I was in an "authentic" indian restaurant and had something with cilantro and it was incredibly soapy and gross. I then understood why people would be anti-cilantro. And then I went to the store and bought some cilantro, tasted it cautiously, and it was fine. I don't know what happened, if it was a different variety or what, but I do have some sympathy for the cilantro haters.
