Q: Dear Dave,

Why does cilantro taste soapy to me?  When following a recipe that calls for cilantro, should I substitute something else, leave it out, or forget the recipe altogether?

Thank you,

Cathy

 

A: Hello Cathy:

Some people have this reaction, and some don’t.  It is a great food mystery.  The best substitute is Italian parsley, the flat kind.
