Clever enough selection today means I will read them at least twice, food for thought. (cilantro is never questioned for parsley in my world).

Can speak from experience parsley does not do well in guacamole.

Who buys fresh parsley? I'm not a fan of cilantro. I did make the mistake once of buying a cucumber and did not see my mistake until I was peeling it to cut and steam. I was in my twenties at the time. My folks never bought cucumbers.

Welcome back! What a Hugh treat! Happy New Year.

I learned about Cilento when feeding Guinea pigs. Not aware of having eaten any.

Hi...been missed. Actually we (my wife) uses cilantro in quite a few dishes. And actually replaces parsley in some recipes.

Parsley is one of the main ingredients in tabbouleh, a salad thatтАЩs a staple in Lebanese and Syrian cuisine. ItтАЩs great with pita bread and often served alongside hummus and baba ghanoush.

Parsley a main ingredient, wow! Old wives tales has it if chewed after a meal it helps the digestion or something like that. When I was much, much younger, a parsley sprig always adorned a dinner plate in a restaurant. One never ordered it!

Unless bitter guac is your thing

If it's bitter, I'd check the ingredient label to make sure it's wholly guacamole.
