Taipei, Dec. 14 (CNA) After United Kingdom Representative to Taiwan Ruth Bradley-Jones shared her love for coriander in an interview with CNA last week, former President Tsai Ing-wen (\u8521\u82f1\u6587) also voiced her fondness for the polarizing herb.<\/p>\n
In the interview, published Wednesday, Bradley-Jones, who took up her post as head of the British Office Taipei in February, told CNA that her favorite food in Taiwan so far is peanut ice cream rolls (\u82b1\u751f\u6372\u51b0\u6dc7\u6dcb), a traditional Taiwanese snack from Yilan County.<\/p>\n
“And it has to come with coriander,” she said.<\/p>\n
The office later shared the interview on its Facebook page, highlighting the envoy’s enthusiasm for coriander, whose distinctive flavor tends to divide opinion.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, former President Tsai, who also described herself as a coriander lover, left a comment in Chinese, saying she is a fan of the herb.<\/p>\n
“With our shared love of coriander as a foundation, I hope Taiwan-U.K. relations will continue to deepen,” Tsai wrote.<\/p>\n
The office replied: “Of course! The U.K. and Taiwan are like-minded partners.”<\/p>\n
Tsai earned her Ph.D. in law from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 1984. She most recently visited London and LSE in May this year.<\/p>\n
