What are toasties?
They’re toasted sandwiches basically, usually with a meat and cheese or cheese and onion and sometimes baked beans and cheese. It’s pretty much a staple diet for us Brits, even before panini.
I actually don't like baked beans. I find them too sweet, and the wrong kind of sweet.
We have both cilantro and coriander. Cilantro is the leafy plant. Coriander is its seed, which is usually sold ground. They both come from the same plant.
Are they both called coriander in the UK?
I’m starting to think there has been a huge lack of cultural diversity in Britain especially in formative years and also a huge amount of processed food because if you find beans too sweet, baked beans would not be called sweet here. Unless you have an unusually healthy diet compared to other Americans?
I also didn’t know that Cilantro was the leaf and coriander the seed because to me Coriander is always ground up, I think maybe coriander leaves are used as a garnish on top of soup sometimes, like carrot and coriander but as far as I know we don’t use it to cook with.
You are a herbalist mind you. It’s only really recently Britain is becoming accustomed to being a foodie nation I guess. But this is coming from just my perspective.
My staples are cumin, ginger, coriander and then also use chilli, Italian herbs, mustard powder for my cheese sauce, depending on what I’m cooking and then tomato and garlic purée. This will be expanding with the humour diet no doubt though.
