Well that escalated quickly - parsley plant

Planted parsley amongst other herbs in a planter recently and it's after getting huge within a matter of weeks. It's about 2 foot high and the stalk is half inch wide. I haven't tried it yet in cooking but I imagine its not going to taste great now in cooking. Should I have kept this in its own smaller pot to stop it…

I don't see any reason why it should not be good in cooking? I had a parsley some years ago that lived for several years and got really big - the weather eventually got it but it was about 3 or 4 years old by then. Just keep an eye on it going to seed and cut off any flowering stalk.
