I like spices but not heat. Like many herbs, too.

I love garlic raw or cooked. Unfortunately raw garlic burns my mouth. Seems I lack an enzyme that would negate that.

Cilantro - while I do get a faint soapy taste the tang, and greenness override that, so I enjoy tossing on things it'd go with. Amazed that for some people it totally tastes like soap (I realize it's gene related both parents pass it down).
