	And also Indian -- since, from what I've been able to find, India
seems to
	be at/near the place of origin of coriander, it's not too amazing it
is
	widely used there.

	This would seem to make cilantro one of the few foods of Old World
origin
	widely used in Hispanic america (mango also comes to mind, and I
suppose
	ginger too, at least in South American cooking), unlike the reverse
	situation (corn/maize, potato, tomato, chile, squashes, beans,
tabacco,
	chocolate, pineapple, guava).
