The Coffee shop at Ke Villas isn't in full swing just yet but should be within the next week or two. My niece and her boyfriend stayed at Ke Villas for a couple of nights about 10 days ago after he hurt his back. They thought the place was wonderful and the prices are very reasonable! I'm not sure if they tried the little cafe or not but I checked it out and it's a nice little spot. The owner (Jerry Cooper) is a great guy and is working hard to provide great value and service. Jason used to work at Fish n' Lime and knows the trade. I think he and Jenny will do quite well there. I'm looking forward to getting there very soon to sample the goods!

Liane, that is cilantro, and it's not your fault you don't like it, it's a genetic thing I believe.
Looking forward to your pictures.

Eric hates cilantro too! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Every once in a while I sneak some in a dish!

I am not kidding you Mal, to me that stuff tastes like really disgustingly dirty sweat socks that have been worn for about a week. It is such a pungent and putrid taste that it often makes me gag and I really can't do anything to prevent it.
Now that I have been reminded what it's called, I even remember seeing a website called I hate cilantro! Some claim it tastes like soap to them but for me, it is my oldest brother's gym socks. Just a truly disgusting flavour.
I wasn't aware it was a genetic thing, but man Oh man, it is a mighty good diet inspiration. The odd thing is that the seeds (coriander) are not nearly as repugnant to me. I can eat stuff made with corriander and not want to upchuck immediately. In fact, in some things, I will even use a little corriander in very small doses on purpose.
Go figure.
Having said that, I have a really sensitive nose. I can smell (and properly identify) almost anything my neighbours are cooking and pretty much what spices they are using. Perhaps it's just too strong for my liking. I really don't have a clue why I hate it so. Maybe it is genetic. I don't recall my mother ever using it at home.
Anyway ... no Thai food for me. I'll eat before I go. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
By the way, I LOVE parsley, celery, cucumber, brussel sprouts, tomato, broccoli, spinach, squash, yams, all kinds of peppers, radishes, olives, artichoke, cabbage, any kind of peas, cauliflower, every edible mushroom known to man, any onion, asparagus, any kind of beans, and all sorts of veggies and greens things many people don't like.
Don't ask me to eat eggplant or zuchinni though. They taste like cardboard to me. No flavour whatsoever. Not fond of beets either but I'll eat them to be polite and I really don't care for cooked carrots. Love them raw though.

sail445 said: Cilantro is big on Mexican food also. It's also a carcinogen and has the same effect on males as Salt Peter. It's no wonder Mexicans purchase more Viagra per capita then any other country on Earth. Maybe you should cut back on the salt? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
