wherein Liz experiments with cilantro
Apr. 14th, 2014 07:59 pmI just made myself some scrambled eggs on toast and topped one of the slices with a little fresh cilantro, to see what on earth it tastes like to me.
Conclusion: I do not taste soap or mud, which I think are the two most common negative reactions, but I can't say I particularly like the flavor. It's kind of like... well, there's a hint of dandelion and/or plantain -- sort of mixed-field-greens -- but mostly I think it tastes like non-bitter parsley. And I don't much care for parsley either, so there you go. I have tried it; it's not my thing.
I have removed the cilantro and am now eating the eggs on toast. Because eggs on toast. Mmmmm. :-)
