FIL: Isang uri ng halamang-gamot (herb) na may mabango at kakaibang lasa, karaniwang ginagamit bilang pampalasa sa mga lutuin tulad ng lugaw, sopas, at mga sawsawan.
EN: cilantro
The herb that divides friendships. You either think it tastes like a fresh, zesty fiesta in your mouth (like in your Vietnamese pho or Mexican salsa), or you think it tastes like soap. No in-between. In the Philippines, it's the 'special something' in your lugaw or gotong Batangas.
From Spanish 'culantro' or 'cilantro'.
Often used interchangeably with 'wansoy', which is the Chinese-Filipino term for the same plant (coriander).
