Soulmate! Cilantro tastes like Dawn! and you and I are the only ones to see it, it’s supplanted parsley with the remainder of mankind.
Cilantro does taste like crap. Parsley, while a little bitter, is almost harmless.
Re Asparagus - Cook till tender and cover with good butter. That is good.
Now instead of saying “I cut the cheese”, do I have to say “I cut the asparagus”?
“you and I are the only ones to see it”
Not true. You can add me to your little club. Seems like everyone thinks cilantro is some exotic herb. Vile stuff.
(That would tend to give it that hint of a Dawn flavoring.)
(Just kidding!!!) :-)
