Coriander is a herb of dispute, which, as I understand is a genetic thing. To some people, it smells and tastes of soap. To me it is an indispensable ingredient in anything Mexican, Middle Eastern or Asian, which makes up the bulk of what I like to prepare.

I am in the soap group. Really can’t stand it on anything I have ever tried with it involved. I worked with a Vietnamese man in the 80’s in Houston (he was a jungle fighter instructor with our troops in Vietnam, and was brought here with his family after the war). I went to his house for dinner a few times and his wife would use it extensively. I choked through it, but I would never order it in anything at a restaurant.
