There is a genetic condition where cilantro tastes like soap to about a quarter of the population. Washing kids mouths with soap is/was a common punishment for saying dirty words. Collective punishment is a war crime according to the Geneva convention.

Is putting cilantro in a communal dish that will force people to essentially be punished by having soap in their mouth technically a war crime?

I'm a soaper, I just kept on having dishes with cilantro in and now I fucking love it!

Same with olives, used to hate them.

A ramekin to the side for optional cilants would be an option
