Cilantro

Cilantro in it’s natural form looks very similar to parsley. One whiff and you can see that you were clearly wrong. This lemony, piece of green smells anything but good. One would thing citrus would smell great, but not in cilantro. Though it does smell fresh, the mint in the green little sprig masks it. This headache inducing herb, is sure to make someone who has a strong sense of smell, sick.

Along with its’ terrible smell, the taste isn’t much different. When first put into the mouth, one would think it were parsley. However, one chew and the taste is released – or should I say tasteless? It has a soapy, leafy taste that it accompanied by an aftertaste. This makes the average person cringe.  Who knew that a small inoffensive leafy green could be so lethal
