Cilantro is not Parsley, It is a close relative of Parsley, I asked a relative 
who was a caterer in Haiti for years why we don't use cilantro much
in our cooking. We do use it but quite sparingly, we use it in Pumpkin soup and 
in spice rubs, in Haitian and creole cooking, spices are supposed to compliment 
the food not overpower it, that's why Haitian cooks go lightly on the cilantro, 
we use the stalks (coriander).
