Coriander
« on: May 01, 2017, 10:56:42 AM »
With all the lovely greens at the markets is there any reason no one seems to sell Coriander, just started a pot of my own, surely there is some call for it in Turkey maybe in the Indian restaurants?

Coriander is like marmite, some love it some hate it.   I usually take over packages of dried herbs as I never see dill or tarragon in the shops.

Fruit and veg stalls always had plenty of coriander when we were living there. Ask "Kişniş varmi ?"

The same with dill. We used to buy it regularly in the markets and Migros sold it pre-packed.

I'd have some off you, Pompeylee - I rarely see any.
Wanted some on Friday, went all round the Friday market and three fruit & veg shops plus Migros in Hisaronu....nope. Plenty of dill, parsley and mint but no coriander.

Will be growing my own I think as I am finding I want to use it more and more frequently.

   I'll send you Coriander if you send me some Sumac. Can't find any in the many spice shops in Brum. I need some for Turkish recipes.   :(

I suppose Sainsbury's too posh to have shops in Birmingham?

Never seen Coriander on the Friday Market WB but there is stall that sells it on the Tuesday and Sunday markets.Most of the local Indians use flat leafed parsley as Coriander and hope you don't notice.  ;)

I think M&S do Sumac Kevin, also Waitrose and I'm sure Tesco.

Plenty of Sumac on Eblag and Amazon. Tesco sell it in their larger stores in the Oriental Section.

I was just looking in my spices box (for Sumac source) and found this! My granddaughter goes straight to find this bottle when she's here! Lol!
