You can substitute bibb lettuce for cilantro if you like. Won't taste the same, but the cilantro police ain't gonna knock your door down.

Because they look sort of similar and all the matters in "cooking" these days is presentation...taste is just an afterthought sadly

>> No.10610057

>>10610024
Because most youtube chefs cooking skills suck.

I think I can one-up that though. A friend's mother once substituted olives for lime juice "because they were both green". Then she proceeded to bash the recipe because of the obvious failure.

While it is true that they don't taste alike, parsley doesn't usually taste bad.

Parsley, while not tasteless, certainly has a less pronounced taste than cilantro.

That's the point. They're offering something that looks like cilantro but tastes nothing like it, because you don't like cilantro. It's fucking idiotic, but then again, people do all sorts of stupid shit like using jackfruit as a substitute for pork, despite tasting nothing like it (but you can kinda make it look like pulled pork).

Personally, if I wanted a substitute for cilantro, I'd use recao. But that tastes like cilantro, WHICH IS THE WHOLE POINT OF SUBSTITUTION.

They aren't at all even suggesting cilantro tastes like parsley. They are saying a green leafy herb of your choice can enhance this recipe, period.

If you don't like cilantro, use what you like, and we already think that parsley also complements the flavors, though differently so.

This is ~8th grade critical level thinking and comprehension. If you aren't English as a first language, ohhk, but if you are a native English speaker? You fail.

Cilantro removes mercury and other heavy metals from your body. Can parsley do that?

But seriously, parsley isn't completely tasteless. Here's a recipe for a parsley salad that I like...
