I like cilantro; it gives depth to tomato salsas which otherwise merely taste of onion and varying amounts of minced chiles. Any damn fool can make salsa hot -- making it complex and subtle takes understanding of the ingredients, one of which ought to be cilantro.

A friend of mine says cilantro tastes like soap, which puts him right off. Tasting, I understand why he says that, but cilantro doesn't bother me -- it doesn't come up to that borderline where it would start tasting nasty.

Brussels sprouts are greatly improved by a generous drizzle of olive oil, as is cooked cabbage.
