🌿 In Thai cuisine, coriander (aka cilantro) isn’t just a garnish—it’s a foundational flavor. 🇹🇭

Chefs use the entire plant—leaf, stem, seed & root—to layer brightness, umami & aroma in soups, curries & salads.

Flavor runs deep. #ThaiFood #CulinaryWisdom #PlantBasedEating https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/why-coriander-is-an-essential-part-of-thai-cooking

In an airport lounge before my flight
I overheard while passing by
“I’m glad that’s finally settled,
It’s a silly hill on which to die.

“Before I take another bite
If a hot dog is a sandwich,
So’s a taco…
But a corndog is a pie!”
