My dad is allergic to cilantro. My mom used to think he was just fibbing and he didn't like it... until she bought that by accident instead of flat leaf parsley.

She made stuffing and practically poisoned him with the first bite or two.

Just how she cut it all up and didn't realize it was cilantro I have no idea. I guess a person smells what they expect to?


I do love basil though... what's that toasted bread with the tomato, garlic, basil, olive oil topping. OMG! To die for. I could easily make a meal out of that. AND I don't like tomatoes. (okay - I like them in stuff like that and salsa - but never on a sandwich or burger.)

You know what else I really like? Pineapple, cantelope and honeydew melon all cut up and served together. That's a really yummy combination and looks pretty too.

Bruschetta.

I like basil in cooked stuff, less fond of it as a raw leaf.
