Coriander

Prompted by [livejournal.com profile] zenmeisterin's recent post and various comments I've heard elsewhere, it seems that people either love (e.g. me) or hate ([livejournal.com profile] zenmeisterin, [livejournal.com profile] puddingcat etc.) coriander (cilantro if you're in the US). Apparently, this is due to a certain genetic trait. If you have that trait, coriandor tastes horrible (soapy) to you, if you don't it tastes fine.

To use the most famous love/hate foodstuff, I wonder if I have a genetic trait that makes marmite revolting to me?
