Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Cilantro/culantro/Chinese Parsley/coriander is an acquired taste. My family is Caucasian European (Sephardic) from Spain, so I didn't grow up eating this aromatic herb. The first time I tried it, the taste was a little bit soapy, but I grew to love the flavor it gave to salsas and many other dishes. For those of you who wish to try it, do not use it as a one to one substitute for parsley, as it has a much stronger flavor and a different taste altogether. Add a few of the leaves (not the stems), a little goes a long way, try it! Parsley and Cilantro are easily distinguished in the grocery store, just take a whiff of both, rub one of the leaves between two fingers and enjoy the pungent aroma! Enjoy!
