Fuck I have the stupid shitty cilantro gene and there's some dudes with ant hunting genes?
Not fair :(
I put soap and cilantro into stuff i make so no one feels superior
"Now it sucks for me and you! Just kidding, I like the taste of soap."
I love cilantro, but if I put enough on a taco or something I can taste a little bit of soapiness. It isn’t bad enough to put me off of it, but I get it.
It's funny. Cilantro tastes weird and I don't like it, but I wouldn't say it tastes soapy. That said, whenever I have it, I always notice this weird taste, but never actually recognize it. Then I check the ingredients and there it is.
Cilantro in salsa is so good. Something about how the flavor of the tomato acts with it… I need to make some salsa now.
I can smell ants. I've eaten one before. They taste like iron. Like blood mixed with pepper. Idk why I told you that just now.
They taste awful. Like licking a battery.
That's a great explanation! Yes, that's what they taste like.
Different ants taste different!
I've had ants that taste like fizzy lime...
The one I ate was one of those big black ones. Not the huge ones that wander around by themselves, but the normal colony black ants that are large enough to easily pick up.
you're welcome to untell me
There's no putting the ink back on the bottle.
Not something I ever wondered, but it's a pretty neat anecdote.
