Coriander...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Love it :D

Great with Thai food and all that, usually cover my entire plate until everything is green when we're having it :lol:

It is an acquired taste though! At first just a quarter of a leaf was more than enough for me :eek: (and that's just a couple of years ago)

Aww come on, it's bloody gorgeous on/in curries. Bit of a bugger to grow though, turn your back for 5 seconds and it goes all wierd and tasteless.

Interesting! Over here, "coriander" refers to the dried version. We call the fresh stuff "cilantro". And there's no such thing as too much of it, for me. :D MMMMMMM. Although I do agree that it's a bit of an acquired taste...

Agreed!!!

Utterly rancid - it tastes like weeds (which I maintain it is).

Sage, now there's a herb :lol:

And the dried seeds taste totally different than fresh leaves. I love the dried version but hate the fresh stuff.

Ok, so how about a new 'Herbs and Spices' section, in the same vein as the previous 'tours' section - with one entry for each herb or spice.
That way we can each discuss our favourite culinary accompaniment without distraction.

I for one would be very interested in a bay leaf thread, but dont want to have to negotiate my way past the fennel posts...

perhaps i havent been getting enough sleep lately....... :?

And yes, it does (love it in Indian & Mexican foods!), but the scent does tend to mimic that of unwashed armpits... :urff: :lol:

Ooh marvellous, this thread has expanded beyond its original confines.

Thus I feel safe and happy to announce that Garam Masala is the mother of all indian spices :notworthy:

Never tried any dill, and always wanted to, just to see if it was rather small and furry and always in a hurry.
