One year I purchased a cilantro Plant from a nursery and got a wonderful plant where the leaves tasted similar to parsley. The next year I purchased what I thought was the same cilantro plant and got the stinky coriander plant. And everywhere I look everyone is saying these two are the same plant. Evidently they haven't ever eaten the real cilantro plant. It's similar to parsley but not quite parsley- less flavorful. On the otherhand the coriander plant is very stinky, offensive tasting, skunk like. Why anyone likes this is beyond me! But the coriander seed is a nice peppery tasting seed and one that is very good. Talk about double talking this is one for the century!
