After years of just reading about it I’ve finally gotten to play with epazote, which is like cilantro except gasoline instead of soap.

I can’t explain why it works but wow does it work—especially as a dried addition to bean cooking—and I think it’s a really interesting comparison to part of what cilantro does—herbal funk that isolated smells of something not-food associated, but when just a part of large mix of scents and flavors it adds complexity and depth.

It’s the other half of cilantro contrasted with something like parsley, where the bright green flavor makes things taste sharp and vegetal.
