    Hey all, I've been to two different dunnes today and i've been unable to get any cilantro.

    Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, so where should i be looking?

    But if Dunnes don't have it where else should i try

    Cilantro is the American name for corriander. You should be able to get it in any supermarket.

    If you want fresh coriander - try looking through the herbs in the veg section. Ground coriander can be found with the spices.

    I find corriander to be a very hardy plant to grow. You can buy a potted plant in Dunnes and the like for about 5 euro, then just plant out in the garden, it grows very fast and wild.

    Yup, it bolts and goes to seed with very few leaves.
    I gave up trying to grow it years ago.

    Me too, I just stick to buying it. If you can, try to find the bags from 'Garden of Eden'. Lasts for ages, Irish grown (in Rush) and it's the best value. You can get it in Fallon & Byrne and a few other places around.

    Not even €5, you pick them up for around €2. Great value.

    Mostly grown beside my home, just outside Duleek, which means I never have to pay for them and have an endless supply :)

    The good thing about growing it is that you can use the root which has the best flavour of all the plant

    Specialised shops like the Asian Market and the one that runs parallel to it on Georges Street (opposite the Dragon) do the staples - herbs (inc coriander), spices, rice and loads of weird and wonderful things - for considerably less than your local supermarket.
