Now I like many foods that I didn't before, though some still give me trouble (mushrooms, big pieces of tomato, shrimp). I keep trying them though, and I'm hoping eventually I'll start liking just about everything. Hey, it worked with broccoli!

I wonder if adults, like children, need to try a new food several times before really knowing if ze likes it or not. If cilantro tastes like soap to you, your dislike likely has a genetic cause. If not, then there's still hope. What do you think of cilantro the spice (the seed of the plant) as opposed to cilantro the herb (the leaves)? I used to loathe cauliflower, which is strange since I like brussels sprouts and love broccoli. Recently I tried it again on a bet, and discovered that now I merely don't like it. A vast improvement.
