Probably geosmin[1]. Some people really dislike it, others don't seem to mind as much. I grew up eating catfish and crawfish so I don't mind my food tasting a little muddy or ditchy, but that's just me.

- jamal-kumar 4y agoThat's really fascinating, I'm a big fan of knowing exactly what the chemical signature of scents and tastes are. It sounds kind of like cilantro in that way where some people just feel it tastes like soap while others love it (myself in the 2nd camp), but in the end from what I understand it's a genetic thing.
