In an older post, Bambi once wrote: “Some declared days (no clue by whom) are highly important, raising awareness about this health condition or that historic event. Others seem odd or funny..<\/em>.” Well, today may be one of those strange days as it is the “International I Hate Coriander Day” (https:\/\/shorturl.at\/gwyZ9<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coriander, also called cilantro, grows very easily in most of Western Asia and Southern Europe (https:\/\/shorturl.at\/einJ9<\/a>). It is very common in Mediterranean cuisine. Even Bambi who is not the greatest, or most diligent, cook knows how to pair coriander with cumin in the <\/strong>Lebanese recipes her late mom gave her over the years. She even learned this trick from the “King of the kitchen”. Yes, it is you “Chef Luigi”, if you happen to be reading :). She considers herself blessed because she happens to adore coriander and especially cumin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, despite the genetic and cultural influences, taste is a very personal matter. Moreover, taste preferences can change over time. Some people have all the reasons of the world to passionately hate coriander. Maybe it is a bit similar to how Bambi is not fond of cinnamon (and its smell) in deserts? Regardless, she has never imagined we would need to have a declared international day where we hate coriander :). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the above, Bambi wishes you a Happy International I Hate Coriander Day <\/em>with a kids songs on vegetables, which excludes coriander and many other yummy vegetables. Please, make no mistake, this “exclusion” is just for fun and for today ONLY since she is not into boycotting any food, especially when it is delicious! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
