Do Arkansans really hate cilantro?

[twistitup]

I love cilantro...have been addicted to Mexican food since I was 8, and cilantro is part of that addiction.

I saw this the other day and couldn't disagree more

Libelous.

The only bad thing about cilantro is it doesn't grow fast enough. If it grew like basil I'd eat it every day with peppers and tomatoes. Those I can grow.

[Inhogswetrust]

Why would anyone hate cilantro?

[ErieHog]

People from Arkansas tend to like salsa...I can't imagine it without cilantro

Yep. LOVE it.

[arlhog]

I didn't eat much cilantro when I grew up in Arkansas but have lived in PRT (people's republic of texas) for the last 25 years and love the stuff.

[thebignasty]

Cilantro is good.

[bphi11ips]

Yep. LOVE it.

Does anyone know how to GROW it?  I usually buy two or three small basil plants about now and they grow like crazy. Cilantro just sits there and wilts. It has to be prolific somewhere because it's cheap. Maybe plant a bunch of seeds in a big pot?  My mission this year is to figure this out.

Gotta bring it inside once it gets really hot outside otherwise it'll burn up so bad in the heat that it literally looks like it's been set on fire.

I've only grown it a couple times though. I have a big pot on my back porch that I'll grow basil and cilantro in. I don't claim to be an expert by any means.

Cilantros in Conway is real good Mexican food.  I like it

I would say it isn't a hate for the herb but a hate for its over use in a dish. It is an herb meant to compliment the other ingredients. Yet, I have dipped into salsa that cilantro is all I could taste.

[redeye]

My mother can't stand it.  She won't eat at a Mexican restaurant, unless she knows they don't use cilantro.  She likes Mexican food, but just not if it contains cilantro.  My siblings and I all love it.

balance is needed - no doubt about it

[phadedhawg]

I don't care for it myself but as was mentioned earlier, sometimes dishes contains waaaay too much.  I can handle it in small quantities but can't say I truly like the taste.

[ChitownHawg]

I suspect over use is to coverup other cheap ingredients.

So what you're saying is that your mother, in fact, does not like Mexican food?

Cilantro, parsley, romaine kale chard etc., basically ALL of the green leafy eatable vegetables have the highest
micro nutrient content of any other food.  I'm actually an expert in this field and a properly outfitted salad has about 3 times more protein than the biggest steak in town. Sprouts are your meat in this arena..
I know, sprouts right?  turns out sprouts are the super foods with all the minerals and vitamins to become basically build  "superhumans" without all the joint and body pains later in life . Google vegan athletes.....I think you will be impressed ...

If you are still paying attention and have Netflix watch "what the health" which explains why dairy causes prostate cancer, tumors and eating animal products leads to the major killers and heath problems in American society.
Also "fat, sick and nearly dead. Also "fork over knife",  on and on.  That should get you started and hopefully won't take away too much of your time from posting ......

Three-Fold is a chinese noodle house on Main in LR.

Sprinkled on each dish is fresh cilantro. It looks out of place but works damm well.

My wife has no problem growing it. Sometimes it will even survive the winter and come back in the spring.

Breathing causes lung cancer.

[Lao Tsuie]

News flash, breathing doesnt cause lung cancer and being in the sun "too much" doesn't cause skin cancer ...

IT'S YOUR DIET ...

[umpqua]

Build a 10-12' wall and keep all cilantro out.

I like cilantro.

[Lao Tsuie]

Like I said Haha, I'm somewhat of an expert in this field... eating animals and animal products is what causes cancer and all degenerative diseases ...
But, I'm not trying to change anyone's mind, I wouldn't want to do that .

I'm just posting on the "why"  as to why things occur sometimes the way they do.

[Lao Tsuie]

The science is there, its all there,  you dont have to take my word for it but, in changing your thinking about food you are going up against the greatest "brain washing machine" i.e. the beef, hog and poultry industry the world has ever know. And Yes, it starts when we are kids. Thats why its sooo difficult.

[oldfart]

im also an expert in the field (with degrees and years of experience to prove it) and i call bull$hit on that

Truthfully cucumber is relatively low on the micronutrient chats and is a good side dish or taste for a green juice but lol, this is basically a joke to raw veagans ....funny thanks for posting ...


Raw vegans needs and recipes are so far beyond this but its hilarious ... again thanks for posting ...

[oldfart]

On what oldf...

on your assertions

[Lao Tsuie]

on your assertions

Which one, lol, be specific if you want a response. I made a lot of statements olfart... again be specific if you want dialog....

[Lao Tsuie]

Ok I channeled OldFarts objection....yes!!
OF didn't agree with my assertion that a well "manicured" salad has more, much more, way more protein in there than the biggest steak in town .....

Thats the statement LMAO, yes it is ...

Let's put it to the test eh olefrat?

Who else wants in ?

[bphi11ips]

My wife has no problem growing it. Sometimes it will even survive the winter and come back in the spring.

Well ask her to post how she does it.

[LZH]

Grow your own (pun intended twist). I gave it a shot when I lived in Lake Village and even though my basil didn't last long the cilantro plant kicked ass. It was totally delish. Makes the best homemade salsa ever.

[Farmer Hogget]

Well. . .I love cilantro.  However, since I live in Arkansas and not Ar Kansas, I am not an Arkansan. . .I'm an Arkansawyer!  Thank you!

[Nashville Fan]

10% of the population have a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap. I am allergic and get migraine headache s if I just smell large amounts of it.

[PORKULATOR]

Cilantro is great if you know what you are doing.
Cilantro, cumin and lime with ANY MEAT is a great start at tex-mex or full on South O'border

[jdevers]

If you start the seed now and plant it outside in late March and you let it self seed, it will come back forever and be pickable all but the dead of winter and summer.  You will get a lot of coriander (the seeds) out of the bargain too.  I used to have to mow it in early spring if the winter was mild.

[Danimal]

I can't help but be amused that the most interesting thread in MMQB is about cilantro.. And for the record -- I love the stuff!!..

Oh shut up. If I wanted a sermon, I'd go to church or ask Rev. Cilantro is a very tasty garnish for all kinds of foods.

it's coriander mate

[jgphillips3]

I used to love it.  Then I developed a food allergy to it.  Now, any time I eat fresh cilantro there better be a toilet close or trouble is afoot.

Cilantro is what gives salsa a unique taste. If you like salsa it's beyond me how you couldn't like cilantro.

Homemade salsa (which is always better) is usually full of cilantro.
