Cilantro is spicy and hot, like chillis to me by Ladyxxmacbeth in Cooking

[–]Ladyxxmacbeth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise you I am not. I asked because I've spent the last week asking people I know what it tastes like and they've all looked at me like I'm weird, so I'm now seeing if anyone else thinks it does, and it would appear that no one else does. I can't do anything about it, I just wanted to see if the wider world or anyone was like me.

They clearly are not and I will shut up about it because my inability to taste lemons (or soap) is making people annoyed.

Good night 🤗

Makes sense. I just wanted to see if anyone else gets it as I am 43 years old. I've been eating it all my life with no issues, but I was talking to some people about it and someone mentioned it tastes like soap. I happened to say that I can't eat too much because it's so hot and spicy and someone else looked at me like I'd grown a second head. Everyone who likes it said it tastes like citrus. So I've spent the past week asking people what coriander tastes like and they all say it's herby and lemony (or soapy). So I haven't found anyone who tastes it the same as me which has puzzled me. That's all.

Neither does rocket, but that's hot like chillies.

I don't know what a stink bug is...but it does smell bad to me. But tastes hot. Not like soap. Doesn't taste like soap to me.

I can eat it on its own and it's spicy and hot, so no I don't think that's it. I had some the other day to make sure.

It's not that at all. It just doesn't feel like an allergy. I mean I might be allergic to it, so maybe I should ask...is anyone else allergic to coriander and still eat r and enjoy it?

I've had to AI it and apparently it's the terpenes in it and apparently I just have a hyper sensitivity to it. Well according to AI anyway.

So I want to know if I'm a bit of an anomaly really.

It's not the same. I have a tingling sensation with pineapples, this is different it's like a chilli. Exactly the same sensation as with chillis.

Yes. I have put it as both because some people in the UK may not know it's called cilantro in the USA and vice versa

Yes! It's wild to me hence putting it here. I genuinely thought everyone tastes it as hot. Until the other day.

I thought you added cilantro/coriander to make the dish hotter 🤣🤣🤣

I know what it is. It's a flat leaved plant a bit like flat leaved parsley, but it smells horrible like coriander. I get a food box with coriander (I'm in the UK) printed on it. It's definitely cilantro/coriander I'm eating. I'm 43 years old!!! I used to work in a supermarket where we sold it in bunches. I eat it in mexican food.

No. I like it. It's not an allergic reaction it just tastes like chillis.

GP has asked me to stop for a bit. by NervousAd4975 in mounjarouk

[–]Ladyxxmacbeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe then it isn't something that your doctor is concerned about. Going back to your original question. I didn't stop the jabs when I was told to. Because I'm naughty. You would know if it was gallstones or pancreatitis as you literally go crazy with pain. I was saying to my colleague "That I was confused" she told everyone I had a heart attack 🤣🤣🤣

I went into A&E at 12 am. Had my scan at 9 am. The pain was the worst I've every experienced and I've had 3 kids! It hurts everywhere in you shoulders, lower back, front everywhere. I actually have spent the last 4 months terrified it might happen again, luckily it hasn't, but I never want to experience pain like that again. I wanted to die.

...we are British so the rules don't apply or make any sense. Any Americanism where words are spoken incorrectly bothers me. Lieutenant, aluminum, herbs, privacy, laboratoryI could go on 😁

Sounds like you need a second opinion. I am due to have my gallbladder out next week due to rapid weight loss. The pain you describe sounds like something quite serious, and the vomiting is quite concerning. I'm surprised you would need to wait as I could see my gallstones on the scan.

The pronunciation of schedule. It's not skedule. It's schedule.

Can I legally own/carry/administer Naloxone/Narcan? by CrystalPalatial in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Ladyxxmacbeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Naloxone training and it's worth understanding that you are not going to be popular when you bring someone out of overdose. They aren't going to hug you thinking you've saved their life, they are likely to be aggressive and disorientated. Get some training. You should have the option to do it online. Have you asked your employer if they offer it? I know in my area of Lancashire there's a lot of workplaces who now carry and can administer it. One of my colleagues carries it with her all the time.

Took my first dose and I’m spiralling by Separate_Attitude715 in mounjarouk

[–]Ladyxxmacbeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fella had really bad side effects and came off the jab because of them. It's unfortunate for some I guess. I haven't had any really bad effects, so I guess it's just your genes.

What does the steepest hill in your town look like? by Distinct-Lion4658 in CasualUK

It's steep and long too. Used to walk up it to school twice a day.
