His favorite herb is probably bae-sil!

I like mint but it is harder to find a fit compared to the most basic herbs.

If not mint then basil or onion.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Is this herb good for cooking?

It's definitely good for appetite

 

[GymWolf]

Thanks man, I'll try that out.

You never addes basil on top of a plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce?!

Cmon dude it's basically a stock image meme

I don't use basil, period, but I'll get some and try it out. It's not that I don't like it but rather being a noob when it comes to herbs.

Onions and garlic

Herb lovers, I urge you to make this salsa verde. It's the most delicious thing ever, as a dip for bread or an accompaniment for seafood.
(Not my recipe, it's from a sadly defunct UK restuarant called Fishworks that used to serve it with bread for free at the start of every meal.)

Tarragon
Basil
Mint
Parsley (a big handful of each fresh herb)
garlic (1 clove)
anchovy fillets (4)
Capers (1 tablespoon)
Olive oil (up to 250 ml / half pint)
Juice of 1 lemon

Blend everything to a coarse paste with a little of the oil. Stir in the lemon juice and more oil until it's a nice consistency for dipping.

For food, Basil, big fan of pad gaprow (Thai dish)

For drinks, mint

Lived of this dish for the best part of ten years.

The food stall next to Seven Eleven where I lived made the best food I've ever had the pleasure of eating

Where all my dill weeds at?

Where all my dill weeds at?

Dill weed is so good.

Roasted carrots, tartar sauce, and seared fish to name a few uses.

I love it.

Tarragon is still the king, though.

 

[Danknugz]

love the smell of freshly grown basil and it's great on pizza

 

[Highway Star]

Add fresh basil off the stem towards the end.

That's her name?

I'm paying too much attention to her bosom.

My name has to do with my passion for cooking. There are so many nice herbs that can add a lot of flavor a dish, hard to pick just 1.

I'll mention a few not listed with very distinct flavors:

• Thai basil (add a few cut leaves on your green curry)
• Shiso (great in fish/shrimp/crab sushi rolls, can be very easily grown in garden or a box on your balcony)
• Vietnamese koriander/daun kesum (essential for laksa, a rich curry shrimp noodle soup)
• Methi (the leaves of fenugreek plant, usually sold dried, great and I'd say essential for dishes like dal tarka and butter chicken/makhani)

All of these I can find in the Asian supermarket. It's just that they're quite pricey, so I tend to grow them on my balcony (except for the methi).

I love some chives on my eggs
But I can eat coriander by the stem.

That's the sexiest euphemism I've heard in a while.

I'm going to keep pronouncing it "herb" (that's right. with the hard H) You know why? Because Nickelodeon was playing WKRP in Cincinnati during Nick At Nite and had a character named Herb Tarlek. This also coincided with when I started emulating games at 7 or 8 and I was playing Breath of Fire which had a healing item called a "herb". Also weird item names like "B.Stn" and "Mrbl1".

I voted for cilantro. I have some growing in the back yard, I think.

I'm quite a fan of coriander.

Isn't tarragon just a poor man's oregano?

If I pronounced the Swedish word for herb with a hard H then it would sound like 'hurt'.
