Sadly I am one of those with the anti-cilantro gene. I know many love it but I cannot see it as part of a holy food trinity. ---

I was thinking of an even MORE derivative thread about different base seasonings. Puerto rican cooking has recaito, which is the trinity I mentioned with recao (culantro) and other things. Mirepoix, the Cajun holy trinity, Jamaican green seasoning. . . there are so many. I think it’s too much like this one though. Maybe later. I wonder if recao works the same with people who genetically don’t like cilantro. ---
