      Have you tried Culantro? It’s often used in banh mi instead of cilantro. The flavor is somewhat similar but it is different chemically.

      I ask because I know people who hate cilantro but love culantro.

      The Wikipedia article is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eryngium_foetidum

        I did not. It was actually these which made me realize I did not like it as I did not like the leafy green and previously I had just hated some sauces and such. I actually thought I hated avacado because I did not like the quac I had tasted. Unfortunately im far enough away I doubt I will remember to try one of these with this alternative if I get the opportunity to try again.

          If you get the chance give it a try, the flavor is quite unique.

        Isn’t it basically the same. I often wonder if horse radish and wasabi and cilantro are like in the same class because I don’t like any of them.

          Yay!

          It’s fun tricking people with that. You’d be surprised how many people don’t know it’s the same thing. US mostly mind you.

            It’s not really a trick you’re being dishonest.

            Most people think coriander seed when you say that word because no one calls the leaf that in the US. Coriander seed tastes nothing like cilantro.

              Most AMERICANS think the seeds, there’s a LOT more people in the world that don’t ever use the name cilantro at all. Infact I’d even go so far as to say cilantro is actually the least used term for the leaves.

              Cilantro and coriander are literally the same thing. Only Americans and some Canadians think it’s something different. It’s far from dishonesty.
