Bone apple tea!

Same here, although it was so gradual it took me years to notice. Also I can smell some things even if they're relatively subtle, but only for a second or two. Then nothing at all.

I know that human sense of smell gets used to constant sensation and ignores it. Apparently, mine just does it super quickly. I learned to trust my instincts, because usually the ability to smell something goes away before I notice it consciously and I can't just smell it again.

Idk if it was the Covid but when i made my homemade tacos with cilantro it was amazing but before that every time it tasted like soap

It really is, I've been making up for the many years I missed out. Mexican and Thai are my go-tos for heavy use

I mean. You don't have to wonder forever... 🍴🧼

You never cursed as a child and had to wash your mouth with soap?

I've never gotten a soapy taste from it either, but I definitely have the gene that makes it taste horrid.

For me, the taste of cilantro is the exact same profile as the smell of stink bugs. So... Anything with even a tiny bit of cilantro in it tastes like it's filled with ground up beetles.

But not soap. Tbh I think soap would be an improvement.

...I'm super jealous of folks who don't have the gene - what they describe it tasting like sounds fucking amazing.
