[quote=Anonymous]Curly parsley is the kind that used to be a garnish on every plate at Howard Johnson's, Bob's Big Boy, etc. It's light green, the stems curl as well as the leaves, and the leaves are tiny. It is bitter and pretty much useless (IMO) unless you are middle eastern. It's an ingredient in some mezze-type things like tabbouleh, but I really don't get the appeal. Flat parsley, also called Italian parsley, has many more uses, and is the go-to thing in pasta salads. (Also in Thanksgiving stuffing, BTW, along with sage.) If you don't know your herbs, you have to be careful when picking it out because it's easy to confuse with cilantro. Flat parsley leaves are dark green, fairly big for an herb, and pointy on the ends. Cilantro leaves are a little lighter green, a little bit smaller, and a little less pointy. If you're in doubt, sniff. Cilantro has a very distinct smell. [/quote]
