Reinhard that looks great ! 

We make salads using cilantro in a salad with cucumber tomato and bacon.  Normally a blend of seasoning of some kind or just a small amount of dressing

I will have to try it.  Or the stuff in a bottle is a good idea too.

Yep, if you like Cilantro.   Some folks don't, like my wife.   Tastes like soap to them.

Do they normally (phrase used loosely) eat soap? Ralphie in the Christmas Story bathroom scene said Palmolive seemed the best; had a slight piquant flavor. LIfebuoy was NOT tasty. Few slices of Palmolive might go well with a soused-up squab.  ;)

Since things seem a little slow for you guys, especially Reb, you might as well learn something...
https://www.britannica.com/story/why-does-cilantro-taste-like-soap-to-some-people

Cilantro (aka the leaves of the coriander plant) is a tasty herb to most people. A pleasing combination of flavors reminiscent of parsley and citrus, the herb is a common ingredient in many cuisines around the world. However, some people find cilantro revolting, including, famously, the chef Julia Child. Of course some of this dislike may come down to simple preference, but for those cilantro-haters for whom the plant tastes like soap, the issue is genetic. These people have a variation in a group of olfactory-receptor genes that allows them to strongly perceive the soapy-flavored aldehydes in cilantro leaves. This genetic quirk is usually only found in a small percent of the population, though it varies geographically. Interestingly, places where cilantro is especially popular, such as Central America and India, have fewer people with these genes, which might explain how the herb was able to become such a mainstay in those regions. East Asians have the highest incidence of this variation, with some studies showing that nearly 20% of the population experiences soapy-tasting cilantro. There is some evidence that cilantrophobes can overcome their aversion with repeated exposure to the herb, especially if it is crushed rather than served whole, but many people simply choose to go with their genetic inclinations and avoid its soapiness altogether.

The absolute worst: Lava! The old gray colored stuff tasted bad enough to keep you from swearing for a lifetime. And the grit left in your teeth from the pumice was not something soon forgotten. :puke:

Cilantro and parsley will last maybe a week in the fridge.    Arugula, probably longer.

It's delicous. Wonderful aroma. Not spendy, either. Cilantro stems and leaves is chinee parsley in the US. Elsewhere it's Coriander.
Dried cilantro in a jar lasts a long time. Like 6 months. I use quite a bit in mexican stuff I cook, and chili and dips. And taco meat. And salsa. Most mexican food has a lot of it in it.

Guess ya didn't read my post.  :rolleyes: Thanks for repeating Del. Things must be slow.

Early here.   And I was posting mostly about the soap taste thing.   The coriander leaves was just a side benefit.

We use cilantro quite a bit.  My wife like's it a lot and it took me time to get used to it.  But now in certain foods it's a must.  I always add it toward the end of the cooking cycle especially in Mexican meals.  good luck.

Maybe eat a few leaves straight up to see if it tastes good, or if it tastes like soap....  I like it.  Wife hates it.

Saw this at Walmart last week, seemed pretty decent for the price. Wood or coal. Racks raise up and down with a crank, smoke box adjustable with feed. Might haveta think about this one...... :scratch:

Got the patio cleaned off w/the skidsteer (it was tits!), the wife was gone and I threw some stuff together. NY stripper med rare w/sweetcorn, pickles & a Norkotah baled tater. Cleaned up the kitchen & got a jag on while I was at it. Listened to Neil Young's 1st solo album & Zeppelin's 4th album. Classic rock at its finest. Best of all, didn't have to eat & drink alone.  :happy1:

Encore performance tonite. Actually there was a 2 lb. package of lamborger that kept falling out of the freezer so that was an omen Picked up some hickory charcoal yesterday; that sealed the deal. Toss on some sweetcorn, cheesebread and a few pickles. Voila! Supper is served. Luckily Mrs. Cheviot's plantar fasciitis has slowed her immensely so I can breathe easier. Still have to be careful to stay out of corners or narrow, dead end hallways.  :shocked:
