YUM!!! I plan on making these in the near future for sure :) Your picture is awesome! You said you couldn't find fresh coriander, just wanted to make sure you knew it's cilantro... :)

Glad you enjoyed these Frankieanne! It's a shame you don't care for avocado as that's probably one of my favourite parts as is the fresh coriander/cilantro. LOLOL. :) Lovely picture! Thanks!

Thank you, Janet. The tomato/onion combo thingy was good. Kinda like a pico de gallo. Why didn't I know coriander was cilantro? Ah, well. They were good. And surprisingly filling. I only could eat four.

I believe the English use the term coriander, Americans use cilantro...I guess Canadians also use the term coriander??? Anyhoo, had a good chuckle Frankieanne:) This old gal is ALWAYS new stuff..LOL:-D

I would think that the terms coriander and cilantro are used interchangeably here. I do admit it's a bit weird for an herb to have two names. :)

Googled it because..........I'm always driven to do that.....:)
First attested in English late fourteenth century, the word coriander derives from the Old French: coriandre, which comes from Latin: coriandrum,
Cilantro is the Spanish word for coriander, also deriving from coriandrum. It is the common term in North America for coriander leaves, due to their extensive use in Mexican cuisine.
And there we have it. :)

I've never heard cilantro referred to as coriander here. In the stores it is only labeled "cilantro." But, I guess I know now! I doubt I'm gonna forget. :)

I knew they were the same plant but thought coriander referred to the seeds (used as a spice.) Thanks for the education.

I took a look at my coriander bottle and it says "Ground Coriander Seeds." So, now I don't know what to think!
