What did cilantro ever do to you?

Do you like cilantro? These folks sure don't. They even have haikus.

The curry sickens
It looked good on the menu
Alas cilantro
- Popmusicguy

Worse still than sushi
Still more food conspiracies
My rage frightens me
- Popmusicguy

God made cilantro
If ten plagues were not enough
It was his backup
- Popmusicguy

"My rage frightens me" Funny stuff. My own attempt:

Cilantro I like
But to meet Popmusicguy
I will buy the beer

I'm amazed that anyone could dislike it enough to start a website. The power of the long tail. But chipotle, that's gotta be the most god-awful crap ever put in a salsa. Every time I see a new chipotle-flavored anything from some trendy franchise restaurant I want to hurl. So in the spirit of IHC, I wrote a haiku.

Ugh! Chipotle! Yuck!
Now there is an herb that is
Worthy of my ire

putrid balls of salt
black, green, it makes no difference
olives - do not eat

Ok it just occurred to me that technically, "difference" is probably three syllables. Here's the edit:

LOL!! Sweet! You've proven again that I can love the haiku and still love the object of the haiku's hatred.
