How can you possibly not like cilantro?!?

[I Are Baboon]

I can stand that ****.

You know what I don't like about it? That TASTE, if you can imagine. :looney:

[DirtyDog]

They don't serve cilantro at McDonalds so Americans haven't developed a taste for it.

cilantro has been over done by bad cooks hoping to hide the crappy taste of their dishes...

Is that a fact, Wolfgang?

[narlus]

the leaves are nice, but i prefer to dry roast and grind the seeds:

It is really easy to overdo Cilantro but it is incredible in mexican soups.


Posole FTW! :drool:

I love cilantro.

And coriander.

It's good stuff.

I hate beets. Anyone who likes beets is a self centered asshole. Except for my wife - she's really nice. She likes beets though. We need to talk...

Stuff...


I'm sorry... I don't speak "loco."

Find some food ingredient you hate. Start a website or blog. Find others with your same hatred. Socialize.

Enjoy life.

otherwise, phuq off.

kidding.

just read Tony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential on a long train ride.

absolutely hilarious.

[skinny mike]

my moms homemade salsa is amazing! and it wouldnt taste so good without cilantro so i definitely love the stuff.

[MudGrrl]

I just think I'm a victim of over-cilantro-ing


everything I have had it in, it just kind of dominates....and tastes like green soap


but I am convinced that someone around here will know the proper way to deal with it.

I used to hate eggplant too, until someone cooked it the correct way.

[narlus]

there's nothing 'to get' in terms of using fresh cilantro...like any fresh herb, it's added just before serving (aside from salsas, etc); at least that's how i use it. sounds like you either like the taste or you don't, or there is an EXTREMELY heavy hand putting it on the dish.

Most recent indulgence of cilantro....

I love it. There is nothing like taking a big bite of fresh cilantro & exhaling through your nose. My mom used to cook with it a lot when I was a kid, that probably explains why I like it so much.

[DaveW]

Cilantro rocks.... but why do you call it Cilantro when it's Coriander?

[Nobody]

Coriander is the old Latin-derived word, more commonly used in European cuisine. Cilantro is the Spanish-derived word, more commonly used in California [the closest thing to a true American 'Cuisine' there is!]

[DaveW]

So what do the Asian's call it? :)

(other than bloody good)
