Seems to be one herb that's either loved or hated. I'm in the "hate it" camp - tastes like soap to me. Bleah!

But others really, really love it.

Which camp are you in?

It's ok by me: I neither love it, nor hate it. No shortage of cilantro in many of the foods down here, in Mexico.

Love it.
Just planted some more a few minutes ago. Guinea Pigs love it too and that's why we grow it.
Have some from last year that's going to seed very soon...viola Coriander.

I love it, too. Have several plants, and use it in salsa, salads, and all kinds of dishes. Rabbits like it as well, so keeping them out is a challenge. The "water powered scarecrow" does a nice job.

Cilantro is coriander. They use it in Indian / Pakistani restaurant cooking a lot. Yeah, I like it. It's unique and it stands out but it gives that type of food an interesting flavour and variety.

Incidentally stink bugs are supposed to smell like cilantro.

They taste pretty similar, too.

Stink bugs are crunchier, though.

Why, yes they are. When they are in season.

Sounds good to me. Mexico is an interesting place. I'd love to head down there one day.

I just wish that if a dish has cilantro, the menu would say so. This was all triggered when I ordered a dish of filet mignon and potato salad that I've gotten from one of the local spots for close to 20 years. They put cilantro in it!!!!!!! Ah, well, my taste for beef has been in decline lately.

I grind it up with other herbs. It's good to season meat with.

Recao is the one I really like.
