Years ago y wife used a recipe that came out of Gourmet magazine, a
rolled shoulder of lamb, and the inside of it was smeared with a mixture
of crushed coriander, garlic, green onion and butter <?> . It was
incredible. It was so good we had it again and again. I got sick of it,
Maybe it is time to look up the recipe and try it again.

I like coriander okay, but tarragon is one spice I absolutely can't
stand the smell, or taste of. I can tolerate others than many don't care
for, like curry, oregano, fennel, etc., but as with most, a little goes
a long way, but I steer clean of anything that calls for tarragon..even
the tarragon vinegar....yuck!

I'm going to marinate lamb chops in fresh rosemary, lemon juice, EVOO
and garlic. Maybe I should sprinkle some coriander on the chops just
before I put them into the pan.

I like tarragon in small quantities and I find daubing on tarragon
vinegar before broiling improves trout a lot. People's sensitivities to
flavors do vary a lot and I think Julia Child was less sensitive to
tarragon than I am, judging by the excessive amounts she used in her shows.

I don't have any problems with tarragon. In fact I like it a lot, I
just don't cook with it. I had more trouble deciding to go with the
coriander than I did with the tarragon; but the end result was very
good and I'm glad I tried the recipe. Those who are interested in the
recipe will click on the link, everyone else will tell us how much
they don't like one thing or another.

That's ok. I was at the local Price Rite and I noted they had Garam
Masala!
