It's unclear from the post whether or not it's anonymous. I'd be more comfortable asking (and answering!) if I knew it was anon. Otherwise, it might be awkward, especially at a smaller company.

a very unfortunate name. There's a long un-known, part of the population that very likely has a genetic aversion to the stuff. It's a really strong aversion. And it may be up to 5% of the population, if you believe 23andMe. http://ihatecilantro.com/

I am one of those people. The worst part of eating out at restaurants is finding out at the last moment that they put cilantro on everything, making it inedible. It might as well be called tryratpoison.com. The site is not as unpleasant as cilantro so I will overlook it for now.

How can you possibly hate cilantro? It's smells so incredibly fresh and amazing, plus you can get more than you can eat before it goes bad for like 49 cents at any grocery store.
