HelpRe: Coriander???
in reply to a message by Norie
I'd use it - in curries and salads and soups :) It's an attractive word in its way, but definitely not very name-like. Don't you call it cilantro in the US?

Maybe it's just me, but when I hear coriander, I think of the seeds, and for cilantro, I think of the leaves. I'm in the US. It sounds like a mash-up of Cory and Alexander, but I don't think it makes a good name either.

Yeah, I only ever hear cilantro, not coriander (only knew of coriander from Sweeney Todd), but from what I've read cilantro refers more to the leaves, and coriander is the seeds, like you said. :)
