"But there is a third category of cilantro people, and that's the category I belong to. To us, cilantro has an odor so foul it defies any single adjective I can think of. To me, cilantro smells like a rotting corpse. That's not hyperbole, nor is it a metaphor for intense dislike; it's an effort at clinical accuracy. If cilantro smelled to most people the way it smells to me, it would never be sold as a food item, any more than skunk oil would be sold as a lip balm."

Mmmmmm...cilantro. One of my favorite herbs. Don't get why someone would hate it but I guess that's why the world is interesting--lots of different people who like different things. :)
I was temporarily confused reading....I thought you were the one saying the quote and I was like, I know she likes cilantro!!! :)

Fun smell idea.I use to be in the hate the smell category but thanks to my yayas now I love the stuff.
