I've seen cilantro referred to in recipes as "Coriander leaf". It's a weird usage, but it's out there. I've also seen it called "Chinese parsley", I don't know why.

The Starbucks drink is Chantico. The chocolate thing, anyway. Everything else they make I refer to as "coffee" on casual conversation. 'Cause I'm a heathen that way.

Hey, look, you can order muffalettas online! From Galveston. Huh. [link]

We just got this note about a theft in the library:

She was working on her laptop, her backpack was on the floor, between her feet. A short time later she noticed that her backpack was gone as was the man sitting next to her.

That's a bold, sneaky thief with nerves of steel. Or steal.

I don't think I've ever had it, unless it's been mixed into a food and I didn't know it.

You've probably had it in Mexican food at some point.

"Chinese [English vegetable]" is a weird naming convention. I've never quite understood it myself. (Since the vegetables so named are rarely either Chinese or whatever English vegetable they're being called.)

Possibly. I don't eat a lot of Mexican food, and when I do, my impression is that (other than the authentic place I went to a lot, when I was in college) I eat pretty Americanized stuff.
