Did you know that Culantro is not the same as Cilantro but they both taste disgusting?

To me at least. I order a Pho bowl yesterday and had it delivered. I specifically said, "NO CILANTRO" So I get this stuff and it is great except the green crap that they sent that I just shoved into it!

Eating the meat was OK because I was concentrating on the meat but damn this CULANTRO was horrible. I can't tell the difference between it and CILANTRO!

If anyone doesn't like CILANTRO make sure they don't put CULANTRO into your food!

Mexican Coriander. I love both. It smells like fresh air to me. I also love the smell of curry powder, ginger, and rosemary. Heavenly.

Mrs. Unblock hates cilantro, same reason, soap taste.

I like it and have no idea how anyone could connect that taste to with soap. I mean, I've heard it from enough people, I believe them, but to my taste, there's nothing remotely soap-like about it.

I love cilantro, but that stuff in Pho is too powerful. To me, it doesn't taste at all like cilantro.
