The_Munchmaster Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I've been cooking Thai curries quite a lot in the last month and last week I bought some coriander for the first time to use as a garnish on red curries. When I sniffed it in the shop it didn't seem to have much of a smell but, wow, when I chopped it up I couldn't believe the fantastic aroma that was released. As a result I think I've now got a coriander fetish and can't get enough of the stuff. I was even thinking of chopping it really fine and snorting it!

Dumsoda Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Actually....I can't stand the stuff.. Patchee...mai aloi.. But I find if you dry it....and smoke it through a water pipe....filled with equal parts Wild Turkey 101 & milk..... the result is pacifying... Errr...maybe it was the other 'erb... Mai roo.... all this Asian stuff looks the same to me... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eee Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I use it on everything. The aromatic scent is amazing. I put extra in vietnamese Bang Mi and in noodle soup. Scent of SEA and latin ammerca. eee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thai king prawn curry tonight and more of that coriander stuff. Boy am I hooked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I love the stuff, it's used heavily in Mexican food, but a lot of people despise it for its aroma. My ex tells me most of her Flip friends don't like Mexican food because cilantro smells like BO, to them. Seems people either love it or hate it. This thread has inspired me to hit the taco shop down the street for a few $1.15 tacos. Marinated steak, onions, cilantro and hot sauce. Yum. So lucky to have that place in the neighborhood!

USVirgin Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Kindly PM me that pastrami recipe when you have the time. I wanna smoke something (not in a gay way)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmph. I have two avocados in my refrigerator at home, so your slander is badly aimed. I make great Mexican food myself here in Patters, but I still miss having a taco truck within striking distance. Edit: I just realized you were probably auto-replying, not trying to rub it in that there are no taco trucks here. Never mind.
