So do Ecuadorians. I lived with a family there when I was in a foreign studies program in college. There was always ají (a concoction with peppers, onions, cilantro, tomatoes and water) on the table, which was pretty much used on everything savory. Plain vegetables routinely were sprinkled with cilantro. It's also in ceviche.
