Genes be crazy

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I am afraid that cilantro does taste like soap to me but that people around me have been telling me long enough that it's tasty that I started to like it.
Tldr: I now like the taste of soap.
i’ve had a similar experience, at first it was incredibly soapy to me. now i genuinely like it and i don’t taste the soap anymore. how could that work though if it’s a genetic trait? could this be stronger in some variants of cilantro? or even on the culantro/cilantro divide?
Same experience here.
I can kind of... plug my sinuses if I'm eating something unappealing? Maybe that's something you've unconsciously started doing when you eat cilantro now?
I guess we are partly nature, partly nurture?
I'm slightly in this. I love cilantro, but when I heard it tastes like soap to some I just thought "I guess a little bit it does taste that way... but the rest of it tastes better."
Haha. Exactly.
