I don't taste parsley at all. Love cilantro. No soap flavor. Hate tomatoes. Taste like a juiced corpse. So, I'm convinced parsley and tomatoes have an associated gene.
There's a gene for that. It's like the Coriander gene but more rare.
Really?! I've never been able to find anything definitive. Just plenty of articles like this one that basically just say: "Tomatoes are gross. Craaazy right?" with no real explanation:

I'm guessing you are not a fan of Italian food! Never heard about someone comparing parsley and tomatoes like this before.
Oddly enough, if you cook the tomatoes, it completely takes away the bad flavor. That's puts alot of Italian back on the menu. And parsley is fine - it just tastes like nothing.
