Cilantro--ptui!

I once went to a pot luck dinner... got my plate, took a spoonful of this, a spoonful of that. I'm interested in trying new tastes. One dish looked like a green cobb salad, all finely chopped--a spoonful. When I sat down and began to eat, I took a bite of this "salad" and found to my disgust that the main ingredient was cilantro. UGH. I don't mind a little (that is, I can tolerate) in salsa. But I'll pass on any dish that features that flavor. It definitely evokes "soap" for my palate.

Mercury.

The metal. When I was a little kid, I bit down on a thermometer with the expected disastrous results. Blood and crying and pain and spit and that taste. I occasionally get a whiff of it but I don't know where it's coming from. Very distasteful. *shivers*.

I'll stand pat. If I can come up with anymore, I have three choices in reserve.

I also hate cauliflower.

Yeeeech.

but I realize that puts me one over the strict limit of five.

I'm so sorry I opened the thread and its goatse.

corriander is the seed.

cilantro is the leaf.

they have different tastes. Indeed, some plants are so different that some parts are edible and different parts of the same plant are toxic, for example, rhubarb.

See this pine tree? Many parts are edible.

Yah. I get that. But over here they're just coriander seeds, and coriander leaves.

Yesterday night we went to Qdoba and I asked for half the cilantro rice in my burrito, and that worked out nicely.

So does corander taste like cilantro/coriander leaves?

Griff · 04-12-2011, 01:52 PM

Not really. It is more of a spice. Kinda smells a little lemony not strong on flavor.

Sundae · 04-13-2011, 02:05 PM

I dunno. The seeds make naan bread taste of soap.

Aliantha · 04-13-2011, 05:20 PM

We had a whole thread about cilantro quite some time ago. The seeds are called corriander seeds and the leaves are called corriander over here. It's all just parts of the same plant. Over here.
