Paraphrase of a conversation earlier tonight: Them: "Hey, have you looked at egullet.com lately? Some people are really trashing dill." Me: "Dill? There are people who don't like dill? One of the very few things I can cook for myself that I absolutely love is this tomato dill soup, and the secret is to double or even triple the amount of dill called for by the recipe. How can anyone not love dill?" Them: "Well, it's like cilantro that way. Some people hate cilantro even more than these people hate dill." Me: "Yeah, crazy people. Cilantro is *great*! I get double cilantro on burritos if they offer it, and it's the key ingredient in some of my favorite Indian and Thai dishes as well." Them: "Well, dill and cilantro are related. Parsley's in the same family." Me: "Mmmm, parsley. Just made some risotto a few days ago where I found myself adding more and more parsley till it was almost more parsley than rice." Them: "And then of course in the same family as parsley, dill and cilantro are carrots." Me: "Carrots? Ewww."
