I think coriander is cilantro seeds. So yeah, the same plant but quite different in flavor and application.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Except in Europe. There, coriander can mean either the seeds or the leaves. I think.

Cilantro is the one that tastes like soap, right?

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.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I like cilantro and broccoli, but hate melon and am not wild about walnuts.
Cilantro does kind of taste like soap to me, but I don't mind.
