Obscene amounts of cilantro. I buy huge bunches at the Latin grocery whenever in town.

"Soapy Taste of Coriander Linked to Genetic Variants"

[nature.com]

If anyone is confused, "cilantro" is the name usually used for coriander leaves in the US. Americans usually reserve the word "coriander" for the spice from the seeds. But it's all the same plant.

Not even a little bit.

I'm sure I don't mind it in some Mexican food but it's not something I'm is crazy about as are many of my local friends.

Yes

All my Indian dishes got to have it. Some of my salads too.

I sprinkle a little cilantro on my veggies every evening at dinner. It is supposed to be very healthy.

@MissKathleen Do you remember when you were in school and learned about Christopher Columbus they told you he was trying to find a short cut to Asia to get spices? So what was the big deal about spices? Did they like spicy food? NO....spices raise the level of testosterone in men and estrogen in women. It was all about sex.

@nicknotes It was also about preserving food. Heavily spiced food will not spoil, if done right.

@nicknotes I heard he was on his way to India when he landed in America and when he saw the first Natives, he immediately called them Indians and that's how it happened. ...and the Portuguese were after the black gold ie black pepper.

Not only yes, but hell yes. After all, I live in Texas and my wife is hispanic, err Mexican indian descent.

Do you have a problem with weight. If I had access to good Mexican food I would weigh as much as a small elephant. And I would be proud of it.

@dalefvictor Yep!

Gotta have it on Ceviche...mmmm

But not with ice cream.

Voice of experience? There are a lot of cilantro or coriander ice cream recipes, some with lime. I’ve never tried one, but...

@Zster I can see coriander

In my chili and some soups.
