I
chewed on one today and found it very pleasant, with a hint of lemon.

A person who doesn't like cats must have been a mouse in a previous
life. Let the seeds dry , like peppercorns. To make a tasty greek dish ,
pan

fry pork fillet in butter & oil . Put at least a tablespoon per person
of coriander seeds into a plastic bag and gently break them / crush
them by rolling a rolling pin over the bag. Add the broken seeds to the
pan . When the meat is cooked , serve it with salad, squeeze lemon juice
and maybe a spoon of greek yoghurt. Afelia is the name of the dish.

Thank you French-laurie and Enrey. I have also now found out that they
should be stored in an opaque, air-tight glass container, and that washing
before use apparently increases the aromatic quality.
