The first time I bought cilantro, I noticed a smell like insecticide in the
car, all the way home. When I brought my produce in (I'd been at a
farmer's market), I figured out that the smell was the cilantro. Stupid
me, I ran it down the garbage disposal instead of throwing it in the trash
barrel. BOY, did it smell like we'd just been fumigated!

But now I like it, and sometimes actually crave it.

Go figure,
Carol
