Ode to Silantro Thomas Lipschultz 9/27/00 Silantro tastes good on anything. On salad it's divine. On grapefruit it's extraordinary and it goes quite well with wine. But truly it tastes best when used on the meat of a human being. It adds so much to the flavor, and greatly aids eat-meing. By virtue of this fact alone I'm missing my left arm. I ate it with silantro, and so far it's done no harm. I'll soon be taking a stab at one of my two legs. I think I'll need a lot to drink, so I'll drain the blood in kegs. But after that, I'm fairly crippled, so I'm not sure what to do. I guess I'll just knock on your door and proceed to devour you. Are you tasty, are you not? You probably don't know. But when you try to shake my hand, the arm's the first to go.
