Was I right about them both being called coriander in the UK? Here, we use it two ways -- grind up the seeds as a spice, and eat the plant as an herb -- and the seeds are called coriander, but the herb is cilantro. Both are coriander in the UK?
And in Australia. (To add the data point, I am not a supertaster and I can't stand coriander leaves.)
And to add to the confusion, there's also in Latin-American cooking, "culantro" (hard "c"), also known as Mexican coriander.
Crazymaking, I tell you.
y'all just made me hungry.
There are foods that I am indifferent to,( white rice, geoduck, cottage cheese, green peppers) and only a few foods I don't like -- tongue ( tried it once -- it was vietnamese style ), green olives , and twinkies ( they are not food, sp I don't know if they count. ) Plus I am a pepper wimp, but I love horseradish

Ow. The past few days, my back's been hurting some, and now it's really hurting. I have no idea what brought this on. Just took two Tylenol and three Aleve, which usually is enough to let me get to sleep.
Good luck feeling better and getting sleep, Hil. You too, sj.

Sometimes I just like her so much. Well, mostly that's the case. But every so often I'm reminded why.
Thanks, WS. The meds seem to be doing not much. I tried a heating pad, which helps a little. I've got a bunch of stuff I need to do tomorrow, but the pain has mostly been getting worse at night and bearable during the day, so I'm hoping that keeps up.
