Cilantro

[Brian]

About as appetizing as B.M. sprinkles in my book. Does anyone really love this stuff?

[Surfah]

Cilantro is probably my favorite herb after basil. I use it a lot.

Cilantro is like a "Food Pheromone" to me. I LOVE the smell of it in my Fridge when it is freshly cut. It is by far the herb we use the most in our meals..

I love it, and use it quite a bit when cooking for myself or my family, but I know a lot of people hate it (which is actually genetic, I believe), so I use it rarely when cooking for others.

Wow. Never heard that.

So you cilantro lovers aren't freaks. Comforting for ya'll, I'm sure.

Asparagus and wiffy tinkle, and now this.

When I first had it, I thought it tasted like soap. Now, I love the taste, and I use it all the time, though I've never had any luck growing the stuff myself. I also like the seeds, coriander, ground up in curries. They give a lemony pep to things without the soaking that citrus juices cause.

Yes they are. Cilantro is vile.

I haven't either. It always starts well, but gets out of control pretty quickly and the plant is gone.

We grew some this year and have been able to use it in the salsa we made last week...

Note the European handle you use and the article.. Hmmmm...

What's your secret? Seriously. I know the heat is less harsh up in your parts, but mine always sprouts, and then if I cut any, it just all dies. It's not like basil that grows like a weed.

Well, not freaks by choice.
Sadly, it seems they can't help their nasty ways.

To quote BKP, "Why would a loving Father do that?"

I have no idea.. I bush it under beginners Green-Thumb luck..

I will report back to you if it grows more.. We did not plant it with the rest of our garden. It is in a pot sitting on our patio table by itself...

I do want to point out that the only freaks I see are those who actually created a FB page and blog on their hatred.. Along with those who actually researched the origin of why people would hate it...

Cilantro is rad. No taco is complete without some on top.

Clearly Brian does not love Mexican food.
