I like them all. Hey, OP, how do you feel about coriander?

You use an asian bra operator as avatar and dislike cilantro?
What's wrong with you...?

Probably cilantro if you're one of those with the unfortunate genes where it tastes like soap.

For me personally, probably cumin. It's a staple in a lot of cooking and I use it very sparingly, but I do not like it.

I vote for cumin. I hate the taste

Asafoetida

anise or whatever they make licorice from, clove is pretty nasty, hate celery seeds, fennel is pretty bad...

Cilantro (as said above) can taste like nasty soap to some people, I'm not one of those but I'm still not a fan of the flavor.

Anise. Cilantro. Curry.

It tastes like a fucking bar of soap. Just the smell of it runs me out of the room.

I love cilantro. Cilantro lime marinated shrimp on the BBQ mmmm... Or I dump it all over a burrito or quesadilla.

My vote goes to cumin.

The seeds don’t have that nasty nasty soap taste that the leaves do.

A skosh of cumin sets off a pot of chili.

I can take a little cilantro mixed in with salsa, but when they put full cilantro leaves on your nachos, that shit gets picked off

Cilantro is a staple in Tex-mex or similar. You can't have decent salsa or tacos without cilantro.

I've never found a good use for cardamom.

This.

I've read some modern occult books that recommend using it to banish evil spirits

If you've ever wanted to smell like an Indian grocery store: Asafoetida and that indian temple incense in the yellow box along with some rotten produce will perfectly replicate the odor

When I use cumin I use about 1/2 or less than the recipe calls for. Or leave it out all together.

Fennel seed for sure.

My grandfather hated it so much he made his own sausage without it.

There is a certain segment of the population that feel cilantro tastes like soap. I fall into the same category as the OP.

Correct answer is correct. It smells like stink bug.

Love me some cilantro, especially in Pho.

I would say capers. Fucking hate those things.

A great addition to chili.

I use a ton of it in East Indian recipes.

My Hungarian mother adds it to beef dishes.

I know, and I truly feel sorry for those that are effected by this, you poor souls will never understand good Mexican and Tex Mex food.

Turmeric (most any Curry blend, really)
