If you cook with coriander leaves can you eat them or do you have to take them out?

Yes coriander is definately edible. For a moment I had no idea what coriander was, but then I remembered it's called cilantro in Spanish.
But let me get this straight, you were cooking and had a question related to it, so the first place you go for help is a Formula One forum?

Hey, I don't find it strange at all. Schumi is back so we're about to have plenty of people here asking for hat recipes.

I was thinking it was about a member called coriander who was flouncing out of here!
Coriander leaves are also great in a salad or finely chopped into cous cous

Probably, he was wondering and wanted to ask the people he knows, on a forum he knows. It is exactly why we have an "off topic chat" for

And if you to everyone's great surprise doubt the universal wisdom of this forum, even without Ciro, go ask Vijay Mallya!

I dated a half-Thai half-Japanese girl for a while (yes I am a lucky man) and her Thai half was all cuisine.
Coriander and fish sauce. On everything.
But the leaves and stems and seeds can all be eaten. Cooked or raw, on a sandwich with shredded daikon, carrot, chicken, and jalapenos. Very tasty, but moderately used or it gets old fast.
It was a factor in my breakup with her

^ Why do you assume you're a lucky man because you dated an Asian girl?
And I didn't have a problem with what 'djones' asked, but I found it odd that he asked a motorsport forum for cooking advice. Kind of like asking Martha Stewart about something car related.

She was absolutely goregeous, and I considered myself lucky to land her. All my friends said the same thing. She was borderline 'out of my league'.
It's not just an "Asian Fever" thing, as that was a small bit of curiosity.
It was luckier then getting sat on by an elephant, or getting hit by runaway train while tieing my shoe.
I consider myself lucky to have known just about every girl I have ever met or dated, but this one more so.
Mainly, she was a coriander freak, and I went off a tad tangently.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that Martha was quite happy with her F430? What a combo!

That's much better than a hot sauce/salsa freak!
Anyways, I'm glad you feel that way about her. And you probably won't have a hard time finding another Asian girl in Vancouver.

Impressive stuff, my Norwegian x-mistress gave me a 4200 NOK (500 EUR) speeding-ticket. After she dumped me.
