Questions: Food & Beverage

I know slurping is a cultural thing, but why slurp the types of foods that don't need to be slurped?


P. S.
If this Q offended anyone or just sounded silly, I apologize. I don't know any Asian people in real life, so I was just really wondering why this is. I get slurping soup or noodles... but roasted meat - why?

I read a study on how cilantro tastes to you has a lot to do with your genes. Scientists were able to pin down most cilantro haters as people with a shared group of olfactory-receptor genes, called OR6A2, that pick up on the smell of aldehyde chemicals. Aldehyde chemicals are found in both cilantro and soap.

If you are one of those anti-cilantro folks, at least you know that it’s not really your fault and you can blame your parents.
