I want to ask you to clarify something for me, because even though I know
that coriander, cilantro, and soapweed mean the same plant, I use the term
"coriander" to mean the seeds of the plant and "cilantro" and/or "soapweed"
to mean the leaves, dry or fresh, of that plant. So, "ground coriander"
wouldn't mean the same thing as "soapweed", nor does it even taste the same.
(Ground coriander is an important ingredient in making sausages and pastrami
etc. and I can't STAND the taste of cilantro at all, not even the smallest
little bit, because the soap flavor just overpowers everything to me - and
please, folks, lets NOT start another thread about that: for some people it
does and for some it doesn't and we should leave it at that.)
So: Do you mean the seed or the leaf?
