I have one allele of the soapy gene variant at rs2741762, and I really like cilantro and coriander. But I also like any weird or different smells, it appears as if I smell everything a little more strongly, and nothing is truly disgusting for me taste-wise (texture though: can't stand anything that has a vein-like quality). I have ADHD though, and one emergent behavior from that is pursuing the interesting/novel over the good, smells included.

How do you know this? Do those DNA testing sites tell you this sort of thing?

Yes, I tested through 23andMe and then downloaded my genes. Occasionally I compare them to recent studies with https://codegene.eu, which is how I learned a bit about a cholesterol metabolism gene mutation increasing the probability of Alzheimer's.

My attitude to privacy is probably more complacent than it should be.

I think I have similar taste to yours, with the exception of durian. I could not with that.
