You may not even be aware, but there is a war going on right underneath your nose, right here on Nostr. Yes, that's right, I'm talking about Basil vs. Cilantro. Lines are being drawn and alliances formed even as we speak. I only hope it doesn't ugly. @Marce @QW image

# i had to look it up Cilantro and basil are both herbs, but they have different flavors, appearances, and culinary uses. Cilantro has a sour, citrusy taste that some people find soapy, while basil has a sweet, clove-like flavor. Cilantro has small, flat, lacy leaves, while basil has larger, oval, smooth leaves. Cilantro is often used in Mexican, Indian, and Thai dishes, while basil is common in Italian cuisine.

I can't see your link/attachment, so I don't have full context, but I very much like cilantro.
Right. But you can’t put basil in guacamole. Different flavours, different uses.
