why do 'straight' adult males post cartoons of children?

Only a retard would use the same word for both a spice and an herb when they taste completely different and have completely different uses.

It's the same word.

Mexican influence on the language. They call the plant and seeds cilantro. We call the plant cilantro and the seeds coriander.

>>19387159
Yeah, you're right. Calling a leafy green by the same term as something you fly into fucking space is peak first world.
>>19387164
>They call the plant and seeds cilantro.
They meaning americans or mexicans? In the u.s. cilantro is the green leafy part, and coriander is the seed. I like having the specificity because they tasted very different to me.

Coriander is the seed, cilantro is the plant the seeds are on

>>19387166
They meaning Mexicans. They call both the plant and the seeds cilantro, but they have some other words for the seeds specifically.

>calls a zucchini a "courgette"
>calls an eggplant an "aubergine"

A grilled cheese is traditionally made on a flat-top grill. This isn't controversial and shouldn't be a head scratcher.

Nobody barbecues burgers. They are grilled, but the backyard/outdoor get-togethers where they are often served are called "barbecues", because barbecuing is an all day process where people would get together and drink and then eat while the meat was being smoked, so the word kind of just got expanded to mean any kind of outdoor social gathering centered around food.

>grills french bread spread with garlic butter, calls it broiling
Now you're just blatantly saying "my way right, your way wrong!" I know everything is upside down in Australia, but that doesn't mean you have to talk out of your ass.

Your mom's ass = fucking space
The thing you fly into fucking space = dog red rockets

Exactly. The really retarded ones are "rocket" and "capsicum". Rocket always makes me think some bong heard a frog say roquette and said, "haha! pewpew! like a spaceship!" and capsicum always just convinced me that they don't eat spicy food, or really much spice in general.

>>19387200
I say courgette, rocket, capsicum and eggplant.

We say 'rad' where I am from. Please be respectful of my culture cunt.

>>19387210
We like them less here, so we call them radish

>>19387210
"Cool" is the inoffensive nomenclature when you are speaking with someone anonymously. I don't throw a hissy-fit every time someone uses a word other than "tubular", which is the culture of my homeland.

>>19387210
We say 'totally awesome' or 'bitchin' around these parts.

In my culture we say "pizza τιμή", as the act of pizza consumption is analogous to honoring the gods.

This thread is probably just a little too high brow for you. You seem more of the Family Guy/Reddit type of humor guy.

they're in so deep on trying to name shit differently from everyone else that if they tried to turn around now they'd lose face and look like faggots

The bong, the burger and the english language is like an unpopular kid, a popular kid and a joke.
The unpopular kid tells it first, nobody cares, but then the popular kid tells the same joke but with slightly different wording, and the whole class knows that version.
You should just be happy everyone on the internet speaks your language thanks to us, Angloanon. You're welcome.

North Americans learned to use it from Mexicans who call it "cilantro" and adopted that name. Since the seeds aren't utilised much in Mexican cuisine, Americans learned of coriander seed from other cultures and used a different word.
The rest of the Anglosphere adopted the French term for both the seed and the plant.

>parsley root is called gwargleblurglevlargh root because calling it parsley root is retarded
>dill seed is call amfuenreiurj seed becaused calling it dill seed is retarded.
Makes sense. But then why do you typically call "fennel seed" just "fennel" and call the vegetable on its own "fennel," as well?

>>19387173
See >>19390478
Those terms are adopted from French.
Idky NA and Aussie English say "eggplant" but I know zucchine/zucchini is because, despite the vegetable originated in the New World, they were introduced to it by Italians.

>>19387200
Capsicum is Aussie English. Idky they use that.

You think English is the most spoken language in the world because of something America did?

cilantro is the leaf, coriander is the seed, ESL.

>>19387097
because it's yet another thing Spaniards told them how to call and use, and as usual they've obediently listened

this kills the mutt

>>19387097
Go easy on them. They've gotta get their culture from Mexico.
