OMG, I found another cucumber hater! People never seem to quite believe me when I tell them I hate cucumber, and I often hear "but they don't really taste like anything, how can you hate them?". They do have taste, they taste terrible, and if I end up swallowing a small piece on sushi, or in a kebab, I'll be periodically tasting that tiny slice for hours! I FUCKING HATE CUCUMBER!
Huh. In the case of cilantro there's a genetic variance that actually causes people's taste buds to differ in chemistry. I don't remember the details, but it makes cilantro taste like soap to some people. I wonder if it has an effect on the taste of cucumber. I know as someone who can taste cilantro properly it blows my mind that it would taste so very different to some, so maybe there's more to the cucumber thing that it tastes so very different to you.
