And also Indian -- since, from what I've been able to find, India
seems to
be at/near the place of origin of coriander, it's not too amazing it
is
widely used there.
This would seem to make cilantro one of the few foods of Old World
origin
widely used in Hispanic america (mango also comes to mind, and I
suppose
ginger too, at least in South American cooking), unlike the reverse
situation (corn/maize, potato, tomato, chile, squashes, beans,
tabacco,
chocolate, pineapple, guava).
