Is the cilantro really necessary?

Filtered

cilantro isn't bitter

isnt cilantro bitter

no

Use parsley instead?
I never heard anyone complaining about parsley.

isn't cilantro one of those foods that has a definite taste gene? like some people think it tastes fine but others think it tastes like soap?

Nope thats parsley

Yes, you child.

parsley tastes nothing like cilantro
yes
wrong

Yes, but only Italian (flat leaf) parsley. Flat curly parsley doesn't have that problem.

>people that can't tell the difference between cilantro and parsley at the grocer
Next time you're there, check the labels and smell each one.

Parsley is the one smells like the ocean and tastes like soap.

you can use parsley if you don't like cilantro

Some people like it and some don't. Did you really need a thread for this?

>substituting parsley in place of cilantro

>5 fucking ingredients
>actually asks if one is necessary

Of fucking course it is.

To any pro chefs or non existent food scientists here, is there someway to produce the taste of cilantro closely without triggering that soap taste? I'd be really curious to hear if anyone has tried this with any success.

guys, can I just make this omelet without eggs

CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION

what does cilantro taste like?
when I eat it, I think I taste soap, but I also don't really know because I kinda like the taste it has
I'm a tonguelet, please help

Cilantro doesn't taste soapy at all to me, just like a fresh herbal scent almost like mint or parsley with citrus overtones

>adding a soapy flavored parsley in place of sweet-tasting cilantro
Why not just add scallion-tops for green, there's already onion in there?

Lol.

AHHH, fuck you. Now that song is in my head again.

It makes the pico de Gallo you fucks

It's quite literally, they key to pico de gallo.

>Parsley is the one smells like the ocean and tastes like soap.
check your shit genes m8

No.

Tastes soapy.

Fucking hell. I had to go to work before someone posted this and all night it was like I had an itch that I couldn't scratch.

Fucking fucking hell. Just realized MitM is no longer on Netfilix. It's not worth at this point just to rewatch Bojack.

Why haven't you neutered yourself to remove your inferior taste receptors from the gene pool?

Use parsley, some Mexicans use it in their salsas.

Stop that horrible meme. Some of us don't want our salsas to taste like a bar of Irish Spring.

then why do you use cilantro

I tried making tomato and onion salad dressed with oil and vinegar once and the onions absolutely wrecked my gut and made me feel horrible. And I have eaten raw onion lots of times in sandwiches, burgers etc; and I can eat very spicy food.

What the fuck did I do wrong? How do I make tomato & onion salad properly?

tomato, onion and vinegar are pretty acidic I think. Also, maybe the onions were too old to be used raw

Use red onions.

It adds a sweet floral taste. Like you're eating spring-time.

Also, trips recognized.

>reeee parsley doesn't work because it's not sweet!
So just add sugar or something lmao honestly

>sugar and parsley somehow makes an alternative to cilantro

The fuck are you on?

Just admit you don't care about the food and flavors, you're just an authenticity elitist

not him but please stop posting

yes, unless you are yurocuck then you can't taste it anyway

>Cilantro and Parsley aren't the same thing

What the fuck? Can we only get parsley in Australia? I've always used it in place of cilantro, which I thought was just an American term.

It's coriander fuck face.
Jesus fucking Christ I hate seppo cunts and their fucking garbage words for things.

All these cunts talking about cilantro.
It's fucking coriander you knobs.

I thought this was fruity pebbles from the catalogue

Essential.

Yes.

Do people really not like cilantro? It just adds a little bitterness.

17% of white people are genetically predisposed to find its taste unpleasant, yes

absolutely

Fuck off Straya faggot. Your country is shit, your people are shit, and you deserve genocide.

Not an argument

you just fell for obvious bait, nobody is that retarded op

There is no argument, retard. It's nationalistic shitflinging.

Why has nobody requested the question be repeated?

I prefer lemon when I make pico myself. Found out I liked it when my fresh cilantro wilted after waiting too long to use it.

Might be good with both, but I imagine it’s zest overkill.

>Stop using the Spanish name of a herb when it's used in a dish from Mexico

Yes. Thats literally the main ingredient in any good salsa recipe. Its what gives it the distinct resturant flavor. Without it you might as well just buy that aweful pre made stuff in the jar.

Because it's not Reddit

It's essential.

No thanks, tastes like soap for my mother and I.
