you are correct, so what you are saying is that santa claus is real? I
am aware that theists believe in santa claus but do you have to bring
it up?

LOL... so you are in fact saying santa claus is real. good to know you
feel that way.

You and the other guy are theists. YOU DO NOT KNOW what it is like to
live without fairies. I do and you would not believe how funny it is
to see other people that are so adamant that their particular fairies
are in fact real, all the while not even realizing that they are in
fact saying that all fairies are real.

I suppose. Everyone knows I don't grow my own parsley or herbs, not
even in pots on the patio. But depending upon the dish there's no
complaint on my end about adding some fresh parsley to a dish. n A
little... not overwhelming. I suppose the amount depends on what recipe
the OP thinks contains too much.

I buy supermarket parsley and air dry it on the kitchen table on paper
towels (with some waxed paper underneath). I crumble it and add it to a
plastic shaker bottle, for situations where I might need a quick
application of crumbled parsley added to a sauce or soup. Works a
treat! No dehydrator or oven needed. Just let it air dry.

Fresh parsley... I don't usually have it on hand but I can understand
why someone would buy, chop and freeze it to have on hand. To add to
soup or stock or pilaf or... well, lots of things.

Boy, howdy! Cilantro may be green but it certainly doesn't taste anything
like parsley. Nasty stuff to me; as Ina Garten says about cilantro "not
now, not ever."

I always buy curly leaf parsely, so I don't confuse it with cilantro,
and neither does the neophyte produce clerk. Both have their uses. I
don't prepare anything where one complements the other.

There is no "I kinda like it" or "it's ok" camp. It's one of those things
you either love it or you hate it. I'm in the hate it camp.

Coriander is a whole 'nother story. It is the seed of cilantro but thankfully
it tastes NOTHING like that foul weed. It has a distinct lemon taste and a
heavenly fragrance.

Oh, I forgot you call the leaves cilantro and the seeds coriander. We
call the leaves coriander and the seeds coriander seeds, I think.

I think parsley is a bit like lemon. You add a smidge at the end and
it really kicks up the flavor of the dish.

I think you're right about the markers. Because to me, the curly
parsley is very fragrant and tasty. In fact, I pick it and chew on
the stems because they are sweet and herby.
In contrast, I can taste nothing in store bought parsley of either
kind. I also notice a difference between those herbs grown outdoors
in the wind and weather and sun. They are far more fragrant and tasty
than even the same varieties that I grow on my window sill indoors in
the winter.

Isn't there a big difference between curly parsley (mainly for looks)
and flat leaf parsley (for the flavour)?

It looks as if my thyme plant has survived our terribly cold winter as I
buried it under a lot of snow. another herb that I grow is French
tarragon that is very fragrant. Last fall, I cut it back in readiness
for winter and my organic waste bin still smells of that distinctive,
aniseedy smell. I have rosemary and oregano in the kitchen but the
former is never better than straggly.

Never was fond of parsley but really like "turnip rooted parsley" in soups and stews. A bit neutral in flavor but goes well with "swedes" and carrots.

Perhaps some people taste it more than others or some varieties of fresh
parsley are stronger tasting than others. I grow it in my garden and one
time I added too much to some chicken soup and I found it overpowering.
I have also had Italian meatballs with too much parsley.

Do not follow the lead of Emeril Lagasse who seems to think that if a
little is a good a lot will be better.

yes, that one always surprises me. It isn't a Tex-Mex flavor. It's
just vinegar and hot.

You can also ruin the taste of soup and stew by adding too many
carrots. Their sweetness can overpower a dish.

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.

ROFL! I haven't heard about asparagus pee in decades. Sorry, but I
don't sit around sniffing my urine, I just get up and flush the toilet.
Never noticed a smell after eating asparagus.

Curley parsley is good for decorating a plate but it does have flavour.
Flat leaf parsley is different. Tastes different from the curley.

I've heard that the dislikes describe taste as eating soap.
If that was your first opinion, odd that you would try again.
Some people DO have TIAD, ya know.
I would try once, then never again if it tasted of soap...arrghh!
