I LOVE Cilantro
Hsiao-Ching Chou
Here's the latest story from the Wall Street Journal food and drink section. It's about people who hate cilantro. I guess I can understand why people might dislike the flavor -- I didn't like it when I was growing up. But now I can't imagine not having it, especially in dipping sauces or as an accoutrement for various dishes, including West Lake Beef Soup (cilantro is essential!), braised beef shank, lacquered pork belly buns and so much more.
