If you didn't already know, the Coriander/Cilantro tastes like soap thing is actually genetic. You are certainly not the only one who thinks it tastes like soap, and the mutation is fairly common.

To those of us without it, Coriander has a herb-y, citrus-y taste which many people like, as such it ends up on many dishes.
