Vile. Repulsive. A crime against humanity.
That’s how Muffy would respond if you asked her what her thoughts were on cilantro. Her hatred for cilantro is much like my hatred for beans, guacamole, and salsa. Kind of funny since I’m Mexican. But this post isn’t about me, it’s about my good friend Muffy and her disdain for cilantro.
Being the good friend I am, I ensure that Muffy never has to be anywhere near cilantro. I wouldn’t want to see her pass out and/or vomit if she came too close to it. Yet, when I saw these 2 things, I couldn’t resist capturing them on film.
Muffy, these bad boys are all for you! Please to enjoy.
In case you can’t quite make out what it is, let me explain: it’s a mini cilantro garden!! Just what you’ve always wanted. And it can be yours for the low, low price of $8.00. Available now at Anthropologie. You can thank me later.

I’m one of that minority of people who finds cilantro to taste like ivory liquid dish detergent - so I’m with Muffy on the anti-cilantro squad.
Now for guac, you can’t hold me back.
Cheers

But it’s so delicious!! And guacamole is so freaking disgusting. It looks like baby poop. Gross.

I don’t find ivory liquid to be delicious so I would have to agree to disagree - but on the upside, having had no children I need not be concerned with any visual similarities to poop.

Guacamole is the ambrosia of the Gods!
Cilantro is just garnish.
Hell, take some parsley, grate it up, then grate up some cilantro, and I bet you’ll not be able to tell the difference between the two.
After all, plants are plants. If you’re going for rabbit food, you might as well choose something tasty!

I think the like or dislike cilantro is a body chemistry thing a lot like whether or not pee smells after eating asparagus.
But I don’t play a doctor on TV so what do I know.

augusto: Have you tried it with peanut butter? Hey, I don’t have kids either!
Jormengrund: UGH! That is so f’ing nasty. Guacamole is a crime against humanity and should be avoided at all costs. As for your challenge on cilantro and parsely- I can’t totally taste the difference.
Nooter: NO!! I don’t do memes!! Damn you and your tagging ways.
David: I love people that play doctors on TV. They’re the best.

One rubberband of cilantro at the grocery store is enough to make five gallons of salsa. I can’t afford the other 4.99 gallons of fresh veggies to make a 5 gallon batch so my salsa always has too much cilantro.
I can’t waste food because I’m a robot inside that my Mother still has the remote to.

You can add the cilantro to other stuff too. Cilantro pesto, for example, is quite delicious. Love that stuff.
