That looks so good, Jess, I swear I can smell it too! :drooling:

(You lost me on the cilantro/parsley switch thing though.... whaaaat?? :P)
 
Cilantro tastes like dishsoap. Lol, its just a personal preference. I know they probably never use italian parsley in SE Asia lol
 
Nothing beats cooking with homegrown...
Mmmm Mmmm curry..
I like substituting mint for cilantro in my indian dishes..
Might I recommend trying some Basmati rice.. The texture is awesome..
Thanks for sharing.

Noooo..... cilantro tastes like awesome!

Just playing around... authentic or not, it's all about what works for you.
 
Its driving me nuts what that red 'thang is.

Not pointy enough for a fresno.

Or a lipstick chile.

Some type of hungarian variant?

Ahk!

What is it?????
 
Yes, I got a couple of culantro seedlings to germinate, which I subsequently killed. I don't have good luck with herbs for some reason, out of like 10 different kinds of herbs I tried to grow, only the sweet basil and thai basil lived more than a few months. Might try again with the culantro soon
 
Doing better than me Jessica, I managed to kill EVERY herb I ever planted. Two things I may have done wrong, soil too rich but to be honest I think it was the extreme heat and sunshine on small seedlings.

And people tell me they're easy.

EDIT: Deleted text, thought you were talking about different herb.

This is the one you Yankees need to grow. The flavor is stronger and it's tougher than the commercial variety.It grows on the side of the road here.....usually near the watercress ;)
