Cilantro / koriander / kolendra


"Some writers say the leaves [cilantro] are used for seasoning, but this statement seems odd, as all the green parts of the plant exhale a very strong odor of the wood-bug, whence the Greek name of the plant."

Vilmorin-Andrieux, The Vegetable Garden (1885)

I like cilantro a lot - it combines well with lime juice. Bugs I have not tried so far. Not sure whether I want to.
