fucking cilantro is the bane of my existence

[wasabi_poptart]

What is it with restaurants that use cilantro as a garnish? How many times do I have to send my food back and tell them to make it over, this time without the damn cilantro, before they clue into the reality that there are people out there who can't stand the stuff?

I mean, if you insist on using it because parsley isn't fancy enough for you or whatevs, at least give me fair warning and put it on the fucking menu.

I would totally team up with you to form a PAC to support the rights of the Cilantro Intolerant community. We could probably partner with behind I Hate Cilantro. My first target would be the crappy Chinese Chicken Salad entree at Panera, where I got charged $8 for a pile of iceberg lettuce and 3/4 cup (not kidding) of shredded cilantro. How the fuck am I supposed to eat that?

I also tell people flat out that I'm allergic. Even if it doesn't send me into anaphylatic shock, I do get these horrible horrible stomach cramps and pains if it's in my food. A tiny amount I'd be fine, but like I said Americans dump way too much of it into food, so I get sick.
