Cilantro

On fir, Oct 39 Linda Stiles inquired about cilantro.

Linda, 
Cilantro is a member of the parsley family most often used in Mexican
and South American, Carribiean cooking.  It is a lot more peppery than
the parsley usually available in U.S. supermarkets.  It is (in my
opinion)almost indespensible for salsas and other "south of the border"
recipies but I would be reluctant to use it in Italian type dishes or in
recipies where "domestic" parsley is called for.

At any rate, it definitley adds a distinctive taste.  Play with it. 
You'll like it.

However, I don't think any of the recipies would make this list.
