I do like cheese. Not sure it would be a favorite food. More like a
necessary food for me because I don't like most protein foods. I was just
thinking about that today. My favorite foods are all vegetables. I do love
beans. They are probably my favorite food in the world and for sure my
favorite protein.

But cilantro? Heck yeah! Love the stuff. But it is something I don't buy
often because I can rarely use up a bunch before it goes bad. I do keep
some dried in the cupboard. I know it is not nearly as good as fresh but
sometimes I've just got to have it.

Mexican food is my favorite type of cuisine although I am a picky eater and
only like some things of that genre. But I do love a good pico de gallo.
Especially if it has cilantro in it.

But one of my favorite foods *does* involve both. It is stuffed Anaheim
chiles. They are used raw. You slit them lengthwise, remove the seeds then
make a filling for them that has various cheeses, hot peppers, chopped black
olives and of course cilantro. Might have onion in it. I haven't made it
for a while because the last few times I tried I couldn't find any good HOT
peppers. The ones I bought certainly *looked* fine but there was no heat to
them. Now I am kind of wimpy when it comes to heat and I can't take a lot
but these were far too tame for me. The men in my family though all like
things the hotter the better. Yes I know I could have bought something like
a Scotch Bonnet that is far hotter than I like but I was just using Serranos
and Jalapenos because that is what I like. I just like them hotter than
they were. Must go look for recipe now...
