Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 From here, it looks likes it's called coriander in Australia: http://www.mrfothergills.com.au/au/coriander-cilantro-4018.aspx I once got a cookbook that was published in England (I think) that called it " Chinese parsley. " I read through the book thinking I'd wasted my money since 3/4 of the recipes used this herb I'd never seen )) Peace, Mo KTJenkins wrote: > Would someone please tell me what cilantro is?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Cilantro is a wonderful, wonderful and tasty herb. :-) It is put in many salsas, and when I have it I think I have approached heaven. Hope that helps. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Cilantro is used in a lot of Indian (country) and Mexican food. I love it and will put some in my salad mix along with recipes but there are those who don't like it. My parents for example say it tastes like soap but to each their own.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I am one of those people that thinks that cilantro tastes like soap, but unlike most people who say that, I LOVE it! I haven't read all of this discussion, but I haven't seen anyone discuss the question, do you use the stems? I used to throw them out, but recently I have started using them, cut into tiny pieces, and throwing them right into things. The stems add a nice little crunchy texture, and I think taste good, too. I also put them in the blender/food processor and make a slush that can be added into soups, etc. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 This question comes up periodically, and it is confusing. In the U.S. the fresh leaves are called cilantro. But the dried (usually ground) cilantro seeds are called coriander. I didn't know that until I learned it here some months back.
