If you live in Wenzhou, do you find there are always a bunch of green plants floating on the often-served dishes? That is the coriander.

Let’s take examples. Wenzhou fish balls, beef noodles, all of which are strewed with coriander.

Some people eat it with relish as well as some shake their heads and refuse.

So why do so many people dislike eating coriander?

Scientists have substantiated that aversion to coriander is genetic and hereditary. A group of genes encoding OR6A2 causes the receptor to be sensitive to aldehyde in coriander. This is a kind of genetic mutation that belongs to some people.

Recently,

There is a magical online website

called Anti-coriander Alliance and established by foreigners.

Seeing the familiar nightmare-like green plant

and the bright and spectacular red cross,

my heart is pouring into a familiar wave of happiness.

The writers of the Anti-coriander Alliance wrote their poetic complaints on this website only for the sake of their deep hatred of coriander.

Aside from the Anti-coriander Alliance, there are also a group of people who love it so much.

The coriander water ice from a Japanese restaurant, do you want to have a try ?

If you are member of the Anti-coriander Alliance, bravely say NO to the restaurant owner!

If you like to eat coriander, you might as well try some of Wenzhou specialty snacks, and you won't be disappointed!
