To me cilantro tastes like soap.
But I love parsely and much prefer the curly leaf variety; goes very
well in egg salad and omelets, can't make chicken stock without it.
I grow my own parsley, two plants just outside the back door, just
steps from the kitchen, two plants produce plenty, a constant supply
all summer. I add a fistful of leaves to tossed salads, the stems get
ground into meat loaf.
