Hate raw celery, hate raw cilantro/coriander.


I do cook with both (only the roots and seeds of cilantro)

I treat raw celery the same way as a strong raw onion. If you cook it until transparant and vaguely caramelised (together with leek and carrots) it does 'lift' a dish. A little celery salt in a Bloody Mary is acceptable.

Raw, it's vile and hateful.

I'm supposedly a 'supertaster' - have lots of papillae closely packed onto my tongue - http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbo...periment.shtml - see for yoursef

This is a simpler 'test' with 5 questions

Is disliking celery/cilantro a 'supertaster' thing?
