      Isn’t it basically the same. I often wonder if horse radish and wasabi and cilantro are like in the same class because I don’t like any of them.

        Yay!

        It’s fun tricking people with that. You’d be surprised how many people don’t know it’s the same thing. US mostly mind you.

          It’s not really a trick you’re being dishonest.

          Most people think coriander seed when you say that word because no one calls the leaf that in the US. Coriander seed tastes nothing like cilantro.

            Most AMERICANS think the seeds, there’s a LOT more people in the world that don’t ever use the name cilantro at all. Infact I’d even go so far as to say cilantro is actually the least used term for the leaves.

            Cilantro and coriander are literally the same thing. Only Americans and some Canadians think it’s something different. It’s far from dishonesty.
