Which means I get to make my pico de gallo as hot as I want, since she won't be eating it anyway. Which reminds me, I haven't harvested any cilantro in four days ... I need to get out there before it bolts. -- Drew

Personally, I think it tastes awesome... really the shit for stuff like salsa and soups and salad and it works really well with homefries too, though I find it's better if you add it after cooking, unlike another really good homefry herb I like a lot: tarragon.
Post #329,110 by Andrew Grygus 7/5/10 11:41:50 AM Reply	Yes . . . . . cilantro, in just about every cuisine, is normally eaten raw or added after a dish is taken off the heat. As for tarragon, unfortunately what you can buy in stores is Russian tarragon, a mere shadow of the French tarragon. Unfortunately French tarragon is very cranky and hard to grow. It has to be relocated frequently because it poisons its own soil and it doesn't produce seeds so it can be propagated only by division (usually when it's being relocated). I haven't grown it successfully in recent times but I'll probably give it another try soon.
