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...

Well to me corriander, which he said he liked, is not the same as
cilantro. Corriander is the seed, cilantro is the fresh leaves. I
like both but the article didn't say which he preferred.

I like the seed- coriander- but not the leaves. They are *way*
different to me.

It is odd that a show chose him as a 'judge', and he accepted-- but
refused to judge. Why not just call him a special guest?

Oops, you're right. I had the same question, seed or leaf?
But somehow I was thinking cilantro when I typed the subject
line. Though, he must have meant the leaf, because the seed
is just an ingredient used with many others in most things.
Nobody eats a coriander seed porridge or anything else with
coriander seed as the main ingredient.

The Brits and that part of the world call it all coriander. I like us
calling the two by different names, because it's easier to tell them
apart. I'd probably forget to use "seed" after coriander when I was
really talking about coriander leaf. What a mistake that would be!

The article didn't give any clues about which he preferred, so I will
assume he's talking about both.
