Sue, I was a little surprised to see the ones with coriander too, but I did like it in this version.
You know Kalynm I can certainly taste the coriander in Montreal, but I tried adding it to the seasoning I use and I liked it better without the coriander.
Oh well I will have to try yours because it is different than the one I have been using for sure.
