Just bought some coriander today for some Thai cooking. Improves very many Asian dishes.

You thought coriander leaves and coriander seeds were the same thing?
No, I thought cilantro was just a word Americans used for coriander, that they were synoyms. It appears more correctly that cilantro is the leaves, and coriander the seeds.
Not in the UK. Coriander refers to the leaves and the seeds. The text you posted was written by an American. Look how they've spelled flavour.

Have you never tried Gravadlax
Yes but it’s still the devil’s pubes. Disgusting stuff. So overpowering.

I’m one of the people who has the genes which make Coriander taste like soap/washing up liquid.
Having said that, I am now able to eat small amounts of the herb in a dish, as long as it’s not too overpowering. It really is an unpleasant little plant, and could quite easily do without it.

Dried coriander leaves in a chilli con carne and fresh coriander leaves on the top when served. Delicious.
I thought cilantro was just Spanish for coriander.

Ordered some nachos in a Mexican restaurant last week and the only thing you could taste was the heaps of coriander ffs!

I'm sure they could've left out the coriander if you'd asked.

You were in a Mexican place. Coriander is likely to feature.

Superb stuff, can't get enough. I generally add so much it's more like a vegetable.

The things you learn on NorthStandChat! I never knew about the coriander/soap thing or kids tasting vegetables as bitter! This is why I love this place.
