> This difference in perception of the flavor of cilantro may have a genetic cause.
A genetic variation in the plant or the person who eats it?

- The person who eats it. Personally I can't stand the taste of cilantro. M123 03:47, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- Me either... never knew it might be a genetic thing though. I also think I might have that "supertaster" gene, where some things taste very bitter... --Dante Alighieri | Talk 01:11, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
As occurences of the word "cilantro" outnumber (although slightly) the occurences of the word "coriander" on Google [1] (http://www.googlefight.com/cgi-bin/compare.pl?q1=cilantro&q2=coriander&B1=Make+a+fight%21&compare=1&langue=us) I thought it was appropriate to include the name "cilantro" in the first paragraph, and not buried down in the article with "chinese parsley" and "methi", as it seems to be as common as "coriander".

- I agree. Good call. WormRunner | Talk 07:06, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Ooops! - missed seeing this discussion - I'll move leaves above seeds so cilantro is more visible - MPF 01:09, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- In the US, it seems that coriander is the name for the seeds and cilantro is the name for the leaves. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 01:11, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
Can you get a buzz off of cilantro? Whenever I have a serious amount of it I get a slightly stoned sensation. Maybe it's just the tasty tacos....
- Never heard of that. I'll have to try eating more of it. How much did you have to ingest to get a buzz? dave 01:00, May 20, 2004 (UTC)
