    Yesterday there was cilantro in my soup, and suddenly it tasted so much like soap that I couldn't eat it.

    Over the last few months, I've noticed that cilantro has started tasting bad, but didn't really think much of it. I looked up the food sensitivity list of people who also think cilantro tastes like soap, and now I am super confused, because most of these are my favorite flavors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster#Specific_food_sensitivities

    • Gins, tequilas, and hoppy beers are my favorite
    • I eat brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale all the time
    • I am a huge fan of coffee, always unsweetened
    • grapefruit juice is a staple in my fridge
    • I make my own tonic with quinine so that I can make it less sweet and more bitter than normal
    • I enjoy ridiculously spicy foods, and I eat raw habaneros for breakfast every morning

    So why is cilantro the one that tastes bad to me? And why did this change? I used to enjoy cilantro! I didn't think this sensitivity was something that could change in people over time.

    @aaronpk i'm all for using grid, but <tr> is a 1D row element so there's no real difference w flexbox, is there? you could use align-items: stretch

    Aaron Parecki
    The problem is the <td>s. As display: table-cell, they can't also be flexbox containers to have the contents stretch to the full height of the cell. I need them to be display: flexbox, which means they can't be a table, so then I can use the grid to create the <tr> and flexbox again to contain the rows in the <table>

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
