Also: Sophia- the s2 Dr. Who finale broke me too. British TV tends to make me weep for hours (thinking about Life on Mars as well)

Cilantro: I am clearly not a true Buffista, because I don't even know what it tastes like.
Ailleann, all throughout my USA trip, I was trying to figure out what cilantro *is*. I didn't have a Hebrew-English dictionary, I had no way of finding out. only upon returning and checking did I discover what it is. Now I at least know that I don't know what it tastes like, because I'm not sure I ever encountered it here. I mean, it's made of coriander, right? We do have that, and I even use it (the leaves) in cooking, but nothing else. So I still am deep inside the big cilantro mystery.

Ah, Nilly, my sistah.
I know what cilantro is from Good Eats. I know it is highly contested here. That's about the extent of my cilantro knowledge.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, wore the watch with the face on the inside of my wrist, the better to avoid banging the watch on walls or whatnot. This evidently infuriates some people.
Heh. Yeah, that kinda' bugs me too.
Now I'm wondering why I'm so anal about watches....
I did have a nice watch that got all scratched up. That was sad. My current watch has a titanium case, so it's proven to be very scratch-resistant.

Thrive to spite them
Nilly, coriander leaves and cilantro are the same thing.

nilly, for some crazy reason, in English, the plant is cilantro (so in cooking with the leaves you are cooking with cilantro.) and we use coriander to describe spice made from the seeds of the same plant. Like you, I called them both coriander until I was shown the error of my ways by a foodie boy.

coriander and cilantro are the same thing. Over here, we call the coriander leaves cilantro and the seeds coriander, which is used as a spice.
It's just a terminology thing.

Another trivial thing that bugs me - people who drive convertibles with the top down but the windows up. It's aesthetically wrong!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
And I can't believe we're having the fork-switching conversation again. I love you people and your crazy repetitive obsessions.
And I didn't respond to it this time! I feel I've grown as a person. alien freaks

Hi Nilly. Yes, it's just coriander leaves. 'Cilantro' is simply the Spanish name for the plant.
nilly, for some crazy reason, in English, the plant is cilantro (so in cooking with the leaves you are cooking with cilantro.)
Not exactly. In English it's coriander, in American English it's cilantro, derived from the Spanish.
