Hmmmnn.. in Puerto Rico 'culantro' is another herb
altogether, with a taste similar to oregano, but a
much larger, fleshier leaf.  I have a culantro plant
growing on my patio... I wonder if the period sources
are using this plant rather than cilantro, or if my
plant has been mislabelled (it was sent to me from
Puerto Rico, but this is no guarantee that it's the
right herb).

I feel my time is short...there are armies moving close
Be Quick My Love.
