Some people can't eat cilantro! (it's me, i'm some people)
Nice! My flap got lost in the pile of cilantro I was cutting, alas. At they ER they told me they couldn’t have reattached it anyway 🤷
Who’s gonna argue with chips & salsa and a rocks marg? Couldn’t be me! (just please keep all the cilantro for yourselves)
The question for all mankind: what does one do with so much cilantro?
Cilantro is often misunderstood or misused. It is great in guacamole but is often screwed up in guacamole. Often disproportionate in amount and left too leafy by people unable to finely chop.
