Coriander is such a disgusting herb

[tarannau]

Poor lamb. Just to avoid future confusion, here's a handy print out and keep guide for you:

Soap. A cleaning product (as used for hands)

Coriander. A tasty herb, much loved by international, free thinking people.

All this mention of South American dishes, but no-one seems to have put forth an example... can you, please? Have any of you guys actually been to South America to try their cuisine (and if that's the case, lucky you) or did you get SA recipes out of a book? Or someone else cooked for you?

Same difference.

corriander is a must for vietanamese noodle soups.
that combined with mint is lush.
they kinda taste empty without one another.

it's also an important 'un for thai foods.

(as well for some indian curries)

i can't stand corriander.
i ALWAYS ask to have them taken out from my veggie burger or falafel etc.
strangely, i don't mind them in my carrot and corriander soup though.

My mum's Guyanese, my aunt's in Brazil... the Portuguese and Spanish influence runs strong throughout the region - and believe me you can expect coriander as a result.

Go to a Colombian or Peruvian restaurant and see what i mean. You'll rarely even get an empanada without coriander.

Although, seeing as your tastebuds can't seem to distinguish between soap and coriander, it's a bit of a moot point. The poor Colombians might as well serve you some wallpaper paste instead of Sancocho....

Coriander is lovely!

It's tarragon that's vile

I find them similarly unpleasant.

I used to really hate coriander, now I can just about tolerate it so long as there are other things involved (spicier the better) but if it's just chucked in a salad then it's just chucked on the compost.

Coriander is the ultimate fragrant herb.

I have a shelf full of huge and luscious basil grown from seed that says you are so very wrong that it's not even funny.

eurgh. Coriander is amyl nitrate in leaf form

Coriander does not work for me....dislike more than any herb, very subtle amounts am sure enhance some dishes though anything that I can taste it in from the off ruins the dish....

So many dishes would be lost without coriander! Falafel for one!
