And yes, Tasty Trix, it does smell like a more intense version of cilantro. I am pretty sure that's what it is.<br /><br />Regarding Rau Ram, I looked it up as well, and according to this picture it doesn't look as similar as culantro does: http://park.org/Pavilions/FoodAndMarkets/Herbs/qr_034.htm<br /><br />But I am nonetheless happy to learn about it, as I had never heard of it before and learning about food makes me happy.<br /><br />Thanks so much for all your sweet comments and helpful input!The Chickenless Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013774612956009624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472964931155643599.post-39738685697276031942009-10-28T17:38:30.554-04:002009-10-28T17:38:30.554-04:00hmm granola and asparagus?

I love the combination of granola and asparagus. I applaud your bold pairing, as asparagus is one of those unique foods that can be tricky for other ingredients to make nice with but you clearly have taken the time to get to know asparagus and introduce it to flavors good enough to bring home to meet mom n' dad.wasabi primehttp://wasabiprime.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472964931155643599.post-16065049049561862062009-10-28T10:54:41.336-04:002009-10-28T10:54:41.336-04:00I think the previous suggestions about culantro ar...I think the previous suggestions about culantro are good.

It says that culantro is popular in Puerto Rico, but I saw other websites that said it is also used in Vietnamese cuisine, which explains why you found it where you did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472964931155643599.post-84497745675437093682009-10-28T00:38:03.026-04:002009-10-28T00:38:03.026-04:00Wow... that sounds SO delish!
