My dad also doesn't much like coriander. I've grown it, (Pak Chee in Thai) by the acre. All parts are used in various Thai cuisine dishes.
Yes. That's one of the reasons why I try to avoid Thai food. The thing is, it's not that I don't like the flavor of curry. It's that it refuses to stay in my stomach for any more than 30 seconds. Makes for some distressing moments if I accidentally order curry at a restaurant.
hehehe.
