Oxford English Dictionary- Volume 4


Going grocery shopping in England anytime soon?

Ordering a pizza in London a potential?

Well, even if not-
learn some simple ingredients
that can change your eating experience when you do visit.

{pretty please- come soon?}

I had sadly accepted the absence of cilantro in my life,
until I discovered it was all over the UK...
just was hiding under another name!


So there you have it.

Three simple things that can enhance
your cooking and dining in the happiest of ways...
as long as you know to look out for them!

  5. I knew about aubergine...I think we should adopt it in the States! It sounds much more sophisticated! Cilantro is coriander-I never knew that, super interesting! I love cilantro too, I just learned recently that it's a very polarizing herb-people either love it or hate it with a passion...

  6. Ha! Who knew? (besides...Europe) I always imagined coriander as the seed...not the whole plant. Welcome back to the world of cilantro (or what have you)!

  7. Too funny... amazing that the Brits are using French words for things given their attitude toward them!

  8. It's so strange to think the word changes depending on what English speaking country your in. Thanks for the info.

  9. After living in the US for 18 years I do try to hold on to my Englishness but sometimes words like eggplant just slip out!
    :-)

  11. I've always loved the words "aubergine" and "courgette." So much more civilized.

  15. Coriander is SO not cilantro! I hate to think of you in the UK, living in a cilantro free world! I'm so glad you've been reunited. I put it in everything!
