Cilantro doesn’t grow where you are? It is an annual which grows best in cool weather, so only March till June and late September till frost (about mid November) here.
Let me amplify my statement. I not only have no idea what cilantro tastes like, I have no idea what it looks like, I’ve never heard of anyone growing it around here and I probably didn’t even know it existed 15 years ago.
Now I see that it’s also known as “coriander.” That sounds more like something I knew existed when I was a child, but I still have no idea what it tastes like.
