We've had _numerous_ discussions about cilantro on this list. ;-)
Seems you either love it or hate it. I'm of the latter crowd. <G>

Same goes for Raddichia/Arugula!
Around here, the pots are usually tagged "rocket lettuce".

I'll try nearly anything once. Heck, I even like rattlesnake, squirrel,
bear, porcupine and frog legs, and a hyogge variety of leafy greens!

The two above have been long crossed off my list, along with bell
peppers and beets. ;-D
