It's a green leafy ingredient type thing (condiment??I don't know.) Kinda like parsley but much yummier, unless you are Allyson.

Coriander.Cilantro is coriander?
Not so good on muffalettas.I've never had a muffaletta, either. Is that the Starbucks drink, or a Creole dish? Are there similarly named things?

It's not coriander. But coriander is the seed and cilantro is the leaf of the same plant.
I like cilantro in moderation.

I was going to post this earlier, but now seems like a good time.

we planted some cilantro this weekend, and we knew, intellectually that coriantder was the seed, but it was funny, opening a seed packet and all these coriander seeds came rolling out. We could have just harvested from our spice cabinet.

Only in the States. Most other places use coriander for the leaf and the seeds.

Cilantro is coriander?
Yes. Once upon a time cilantro referred to the seed of the coriander plant, and coriander referred to the leaf. Then people who aren't Buffistas, i.e., aren't quite so careful with their words, misused it until cilantro came to mean the leaf, also.
ETA: The OED: Cookery (chiefly U.S.). In early use: the seed of the coriander plant. In later use (usually): the leaf of the coriander plant, as a seasoning or garnish, esp. when used in Mexican or Mexican-style cuisine.

Unless I'm kinda wrong.
Coriander is actually the name of the whole plant.
Coriander is also what the seeds are called though.
