I wouldn't keep buying the wrong one!
Seriously this is bout the 3rd time in a week and a half I have bought cilantro instead of parsley for the dinner dish- first for the chicken picata, then the chicken marsala and now my balsalmic glazed drumsticks. Luckily it is always a garnishy type thing but still-haven't I learned yet? I swear I do go to the store and think I HAVE TO GET PARSLEY. I even looked at the price tag and got the herb below the one that said "flat leaf Italian parsley". However, I am at home, finishing up my chicken by chopping up the parsley to find myself thinking-"hmm, this smells a bit like soap". So, I look at the twist tie and sure enough CILANTRO. Ahhhhhh!!
Screw your garnishes food network, I'm done!

I totally did the same thing today and now I have a bunch of cilantro and no clue what to do with it. The store totally labled it as flat leaf parsley too!
