Cilantrophobia
My friend Broom sent this to me:
Cilantro Haters, It’s Not Your Fault
It's a great article on why many hate the green stuff.
Even Julia Child hated it!
"In a television interview in 2002, Larry King asked Julia Child which foods she hated. She responded: “Cilantro and arugula I don’t like at all. They’re both green herbs, they have kind of a dead taste to me.” "
I don't mind it so much when it's cooked in food or as a chutney as long as I don't get a whiff of it when fresh.
Are you a fan or not?

I'm a fan! And clearly, as the article states, that makes me more evolved! HAH.
Then let me remind you that the word coriander is derived from the Greek word for BEDBUGS! I guess that really would make you more EVOLVED.
I bet, a cilantro hater like you coined the name. :P
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Probably!
