What herbs do you like?

For aesthetics and garnish, I love chervil. It's just so delicate.

 

To eat, i like cooked Rosemary. I've never understood people using raw Rosemary, it's like chewing on a waxy tree, and the flavours are so much more intense if you cook it before you use it.

 

I can't stand Coriander on it's own, It smells bad. Reminds me of a cat with bladder problems.

 

And the only parsley I like is the broad flat leaves of Italian Parsley. They look really good left whole in ravioli dough.

mmm, I do like basil - forgot about that - looks amazing if you fry it, goes flourescent green and crispy

 

I use the basil chips on top of a sandcrab lasagne,

I love coriander, I think fennel smells like sheep wee, I love flash fryed rosemary or the rosemary left in the bottom of the baking dish when I've made garlic rosemary baked potato. Yum

I love the smell of Rosemary. And mint. Not together though. LOL. I hate basil. It makes me sneeze. I didn't like coriander for a long time, but I grew a taste for it. Still not keen on the smell of it though.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

So many people dont like corriander.  I think in the right dish it's totally necessary. Like Vietamese noodle soup. On the rare occasion that I get to have pho I'm crushed if theres no corriander lol 

 

I cant stand mint and it grows out of control, it also gives me a headache, but I love the smell of lemon mint and again on the Vietnamese topic, I love vienamese mint in ricepaper rolls.

 

Oregano is good in small doses but Parsley probably wins hands down for me, I can eat it straight off the plant and if I dont have fresh parsley, I'll use celery leaves, they add great flavour to tomato based sauces.
