From here, it looks likes it's called coriander in Australia:

I once got a cookbook that was published in England (I think) that

called it " Chinese parsley. " I read through the book thinking I'd wasted

my money since 3/4 of the recipes used this herb I'd never seen ))

 

Peace,

Mo

Cilantro is a wonderful, wonderful and tasty herb. :-) It is put in many salsas,

and when I have it I think I have approached heaven. Hope that helps. :-)

Cilantro is used in a lot of Indian (country) and Mexican food. I love it and

will put some in my salad mix along with recipes but there are those who don't

like it. My parents for example say it tastes like soap but to each their own.

I am one of those people that thinks that cilantro tastes like soap, but unlike

most people who say that, I LOVE it!

 

I haven't read all of this discussion, but I haven't seen anyone discuss the

question, do you use the stems? I used to throw them out, but recently I have

started using them, cut into tiny pieces, and throwing them right into things.

The stems add a nice little crunchy texture, and I think taste good, too. I

also put them in the blender/food processor and make a slush that can be added

into soups, etc.

You must use a wonderful brand.

This question comes up periodically, and it is confusing. In the U.S.

the fresh leaves are called cilantro. But the dried (usually ground)

cilantro seeds are called coriander.

 

I didn't know that until I learned it here some months back.
