Cilantro

The cilantro in-joke appears to have started due to this post, in which well-loved mefite/metachatter interrobang attempts to find out who else hates cilantro. Several people agreed with him, but it is at this point unclear whether the cilantro in-joke is making fun of interrobang or not. Either way, cilantro sucks doesn't suck could make a horse gag from twenty paces is super yummy tastes like the kind of barf you would barf if you first ate a whole pot of barf, and then barfed it onto a pile of dead pigeons is an essential delicious part of many world cuisines is a regrettable misconception on the part of a blind idiot god is green and harmless and never did nuttin' to nobody was created by satan and may be initially tempting, but is in fact quite evil.

"I think I get the cilantro thing now. It's like, if you're pro-cilantro, you're a yuppie motherfucker who, granted, likes other cultures, but not enough to use the proper terminology (e.g. panini/panino). If you're anti-cilantro, you're into down-home old fashioned high-cholesterol America. Ah, the eternal struggle rages on." [2]

p.s. In the U.K. cilantro is also known as coriander. Like the leafy coriander.
