What does it actually add?
>>21087192can't parse it out huh?
>>21087192Freshness to a dish
>>21087192Green.
>>21087192It taste sour like milk that's very slightly spoiled
earthiness
>>21087192Umami
>>21087192mouthfeel and a false sense that you're eating something healthy
Remember what they took from you
>>21087192Elegance. Decadence. Decor.
chimichurri for low quality cuts of beef
>>21087228...garnishes?
>>21087192i liiiiiiike it!
>>21087252When was the last time, anon?
>>21087192its like what i imagined grass would taste like if it was good, fresh, sweet, dewy
it adds grassiness which really improves sauces
>>21087192I just put a bunch of it in the pot whenever I make stock. It's worse without it, but I can't put my finger on why.
>>21087192A fresh yet savoury aromatic, similar to celery, but is mild enough to use just for it's colour without changing the overall flavour of many dishes.
>>21087228Flatleaf > curly
>>21088944You’ll miss the curly parsley when it’s gone. Or they’ll bring it back from France and annoying girls will tell you “it’s not parsley, it’s per-SIL”
>>21087192Little bits that get stuck to your teeth
>>21087192my grandmother on my moms side would eat that, if it was on her plate at a restaurant. I'm not sure if I have seen parsley on a plate in the last 30 years.
>>21087192I think everyone who says it tastes like soap wash it with soap but don't wash all of it off.
>>21087192At least it's not offensively shit like cilantro
taste
>>21087192ChlorphyllIt adds depth of flavour in the same vein as celery or its seeds - you're more likely to notice a lack of it than the ingredient itself, but try a stock without celery in the mirepoix, or a tabbouleh or chimichurri without parsley, and you'll notice exactly what they do.

>>21087192Tabouli is wonderful. Also it is pretty important in shrimp scampi or spicy tomato dishes in place of basil (never together)
>>21087192I love parsley. It’s a humble herb.
>>21087224>leaves >healthyChoose one.This nigger's eating leaves! Hahahahaha!
>>21090733Bullshit, a burrito with cilantro mixed into the rice is noticeably better than a burrito without cilantro in the rice. That said I'm too cheap to buy a package of it at the store and too lazy to chop it up nicely, but I know I'm compromising the experience.
>>21087192the foliage enhances the meal
>>21087192Fresh parsley tastes kind of like citrus. Dry parsley tastes like a generic leaf.
Enhanced crammability!
