    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.
