Went for Mexican food with my niece and when I said no cilantro she said "Oh, you're like my Dad."

Hadn't realized he had the no cilantro gene but apparently he didn't pass it on to his daughter.

Although it also surprises me that people eat eggplant voluntarily and she agreed with me that we can't figure out how anyone eats rhubarb.
