Parsley as a garnish can be a little annoying. However herbs within things as garnish do add a better pop. Imagine a spoonfull of creamy white beans with nothing, and then one with bits of well chopped parsley and chive. Not only will it add a nice lighter note to the dish but it will also add a health visual appeal. A few parsley sprigs with the stem intact laid on top a piece of fish, no. Finely chopped leaves of parsley folded into your something or other. nice touch.

typical americans. don’t mess with waiters, they’re trying to make a living. so what if they are enthusiastic or new. if a side isn’t listed on the menu, expect to pay for it. parsley is good, and good for you, so is cilantro. if you are allergic, you should say so and expect to send something back right away if it comes out wrong, nobody is perfect so don’t let your affliction kill everybody, or just stay at home, nobody likes a complainer when out and about. also, you have to understand you are not dealing with people who believe in the value of education, and they are in control of something you put in your body. be careful.

I am very okay with cilantro being in/on everything. DELICIOUS.

Cilantro. Cilantro on everything. I blame the Food Network, whose chefs use it in every recipe.

I have to ask if cilantro is an ingredient, whether it is appropriate to the dish. Cilantro makes me ill.

At one restaurant (Chinese/Asian), I was assured that it was not in the dish, only to find that cilantro was liberally strewn all over the food and platter. The waitress’ response: “Oh, it’s not an ingredient, it’s only the garnish.” Ok, what part of allergic didn’t you understand?

That picture of the parsley got me nervous so I just got up to look in the mirror and I’ve been walking around since lunch with an entire chicken wing stuck to my cheek.

ou are forgetting of of the most annoying things about eating out. The pushy wait staff. Of course there are a lot of great waiters in town, but every now and then you’ll get one of two types.
1) the showman: the showman feels that his service is the best part of the meal. He will approach your table and give you his normal banter sit down at the table with you, make generic jokes, and ask you about every aspect of your life. The only thing that this guy doesnt do is give you a complimentary lap dance. This may be great at first until you turn around and hear him telling the same exact jokes to another table.
2) The new guy: This person may come across cute and cuddly at first and yea it may be a little fun to mess with them and make odd complaints and requests. Some of my favorite are “my beer is too wet” or ordering a glass of water with everything, try it it’s really funny how many you can get on your table. The annoying part comes when they stop by every 2 mins to ask, “is every thing okay” or “how we doing” or my personal favorite “how did everything come out.”
