I watched a documentary called Scooby Doo! and the Gourmet Ghost where Bobby Flays ancestor in the colonies were the first celebrity chef.
I would love to see the etymology/history of how north america got the word cilantro and relegated the word coriader to only the dried seeds
"Cilantro is the Spanish word for coriander, also deriving from coriandrum. It is the common term in American English for coriander leaves, due to their extensive use in Mexican cuisine.[15]" - Wikipedia

Immigrants create new dishes by trying to replicate their traditional dishes as best they can when they can't get crucial ingredients, they also create new dishes when they cook something from their new homeland and do it the way that they think it should be done.

*NOTE:
-> Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries...
