His mistake??? That is really carrying the PC accommodating foreigners
bullshit too damn far. People open up a restaurant in an area and
they don't know the local food lingo? Not to mention, that cilantro is
a well known aka for coriander in culinary circles. No, it's the
restaurant's mistake.

I know the "customer is always right" is a joke nowadays, but no way
the OP is at fault. Geezus, go to an Italian place and you say no
mushrooms, and it's your fault because you didn't say no funghi...NO
WAY!
