Think about how you'd talk about a celery plant. Each branch is a
stalk, the whole thing would be a "bunch".

Coriander is the European term for cilantro, which is the Mexican term
for the herb. Also, Chinese parsley:

"The leaves are variously referred to as coriander leaves, Chinese
parsley, cilantro (in America, from the Spanish for the plant)."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander

I've never seen cilantro (I prefer that term, buying and using it
often) roots, though I've seen them called for in Thai recipes. I
don't know where those pics came from, but it's nice to finally see
what a cilantro root looks like. I think the only way you'll ever see
them is to grow your own, as even the most upscale or Asian of mkts do
not sell the root.

Really? I often see the roots still attached in grocery stores
hereabouts (Ann Arbor, MI).

I took a Thai cooking class last fall and one week we made curry paste
from scratch. Coriander root was one of the hardest things to find but
we eventually scored in little India here in Toronto. Another tough
one to find was raw Turmeric. Who knew it was a root?

Depends where you shop. A regular poster here says that the roots often
come with the plant at her local market. Of course, that's not *our*
local market. It's a long ways from both of us, in the far southern
hemisphere.

Turmeric, which you may find in both its more common orange color as
well as a more play, beige one, is not always available as fresh to
me year-round - at least from my East Asian markets, so I bought some
and stuck it in a pot of dirt.

It grows similarly to ginger, but unlike ginger, which sprouts quite
easily and quickly, turmeric can take a long, long time to get going.
Nevertheless, it is easy to keep a fresh supply around all the time
this way.

Because I'm anal, obviously. If you had stopped after you posted that
you had never seen the roots for sale, well, that's fine, but when you
post that:

"I think the only way you'll ever see
them is to grow your own, as even the most upscale or Asian of mkts do
not sell the root."

then that's just plain wrong. Some people forget that this is a
worldwide group. My self-appointed job is to remind people of that.

I did the curry as per the recipe, except that I only used 400ml of water
rather the recommended 1000ml, but although it was quite nice I will not be
doing it again. Thanks everyone.

it depends not only on where you shop, but the day or week. At the
grocery store in town they sometimes have cilantro in hard plastic packs
that have only a small amount of cilantro. Sometimes they have larger
bundles without the hard to penetrate package. Sometimes they have huge
bunches complete with roots. My wife picked on up a few weeks ago. I
was in there today and they don't have it.

Yes, it's a tricky business getting cilantro (coriander) with roots even
in Thai and Vietnamese groceries. It's a great pity because one of my
favorite Thai marinades for chicken needs them. You can make do with
stems and leaves but the result is not as good. The local Giant store
never has roots and likes to sell cilantro in plastic boxes at
exorbitant prices. Even when they have bunches of cilantro they tend to
charge about twice as much as some other places (one is MacGruder's, for
local reference.)

I have planted cilantro in my garden and it now is is popping up all
over. I have lots of the stuff in the summer, but I tend to want to use
it more in the winter than in the summer. I really hate buying bunches
of herbs. In the summer I have lots of them free for the picking. It is
hard for me to pay as much for something that is flavouring and/or
decoration when they are charging more for the herbs than the charge for
real food.

That's a pretty goofy picture. Most people in the US will use the leafy
section of the coriander and not use the stems. Of course, they may use
it differently in Asia or Europe. I've never heard the amount specified
as single stalks either. It's all so very strange.

We call it Chinese parsley over here. Some people don't much care for
coriander (I don't) so my suggestion is that you add it to taste.

Which makes me wonder where they grow it, but maybe it's used so

There are slow-bolt varieties, but I have found them indistinguishable
from the regular.

I plant it every week in season, so I always have some ready. I have
tried over wintering it, as I do with other herbs and greens, and it
is as successful as parsley is in my house - that is, I can keep it
going until January or so, then it just gives up the ghost.

They grow it here. Except for the weird weather we had this month, we
normally have two climate variations: hot and warm.

I have buckets of stuff frozen and sitting in the garage. There is
just so much I can store. About a month ago, I debated, fussed, then
threw my hands up and surrendered to sanity and the garbage can. I
cannot tell you how upset I am to toss things in the garbage that
would otherwise go into the compost.

I just got a big fat seed order this morning. I no longer start
anything ahead of time, though. The nice thing about tubs and pots is
that they heat up well before the ground soil and take direct sowing
quite nicely. The advantage I gained by tending those damnable
seedling trays is almost given back to me in direct sowing into warmer
soil.

I have a huge industrial thermometer with a 2 foot+ probe that I have
stuck in the dirt in one of the tubs. It is my guide and buddy.

About the only thing I do not attempt in the tubs is corn. It never
grew well for me down in the yard, anyway, so I go to the farm 3
minutes away.

Heh... that's "xeroscape." The way you spelled it, it means you don't have
any "scape" at all.

Speaking of xeroscaping, I found it odd that the base where I work actually
put in sod and sprinklers around a new building. All the buildings around it
have xeroscaped rock beds surrounded by gravel with a few hardy trees. It's
pretty much a desert here, so they'll be spending a fortune to keep the
grass sprinkled in the summer.

Actually, it xeriscape. (It's a well-known rule of Usenet that a
spelling
correction contains a spelling error. But usually it's in some other
word.)

I xeriscape my lawn (for Michigan). It's a pleasant combination of
grass,
creeping charlie, dandelions, clover, crabgrass, quackgrass, and
other
greenery. No water or fertilizer required. The creeping charlie
looks
especially nice when it's blooming.

However from the statement that he "simply purchases in bunches" it
seems that sycophant is indicating that hse doesn't grow it at all but
purchases it in a store, with "zeroscape" being used as a pun to
indicate that hse maintains no garden at all.

Google isn't a good way to check that kind of thing. If you Google "should
of" you get "About 3,940,000 results". Doesn't mean that "should of" isn't a
****ing stupid and wrong phrasing.

"Zeroscape" is just plain wrong, and ignorant. Kind of like Sycophant.

Your personal bias toward East Coast lawns doesn't change the real meaning
of words. "Xeriscape" means "desert landscape." It doesn't mean "no
landscape."

"Zero landscape" presumably means that no effort has been expended to make
the area look the way it does. Maintaining a good-looking desert landscape
is by no means effortless. Therefore "xeriscape" and "zeroscape" don't mean
the same thing.

It's entirely possible that Sycophant expends no effort whatsoever to make
her property look good. I suppose a rat-infested yard full of Sahara mustard
and falling-down rusted fence *would* qualify as a "zeroscape." Maybe that's
what she has. But that's not the same thing as a xeriscape.

I *hate* the desert. Can't stand succulents or anything else
associated with that type of low water landscaping. It's zero
landscape AFAIC.

You and Bob need to talk to each other. It was a cute play on words
and I like it.

Yup, "Sycophant" fits you perfectly. What a drug-addled vacuum-head you are!
Your attempt to weasel your way out of it by saying "zeroscape is analogous
to xeriscape" is transparent and laughable. You should have just admitted
that you made a mistake instead of piling on the bullshit.

As far as Pussy's "pot metal" allegation, I've already addressed that
separately: It *is* possible to sharpen scoops. They *do* work better. His
blather is nothing more than ignorant anile shouting into the wind.

It's easy to see why you got fired: Your drug habit (no doubt compounded by
stealing from your employer to pay for your drug habit) piled on top of your
sickening personality piled on top of your utter lack of cognitive ability
pretty much makes you unemployable. Have you already applied for disability,
or are the forms too complicated for you?

Hold on. I am going to go make some popcorn and will be right back for
Act II.

Be sure it is one you really like and want. I've changed careers many
times in my life and have finally decided I like this one the best -
retired old fart.
