Mine are:

Garlic
Ginger
Parsley

also I like Hot chilli though I not sure if that is classed as a herb.

So what are yours and what stuff you cookin/eating with em?

marijuana

Bought a fucking hot chilli sauce made in QLD Called Chilli Willies, the one I got says "Slap my arse and call me Sally" on the label couldnt resist it.

Basil, garlic, thyme.

By the way why do the Yanks drop the "H" and call them erbs?? Got me fucked like they drop the s in Maths, do the Math? WTF

Motherwort is waaaay high up on my favourites. Others I use regularly are: blue and black cohosh, shepherd's purse, angelica, yarrow, tansy, skullcap, poppy, rue, pennyroyal, peppermint, calendula. I have a large toolbox full of herbal tinctures that I take to work with me, and I've started growing a lot of these herbs myself. and making my own alcohol to make tinctures as well

culinarily: coriander is probably my most-used.

Most of them.

Mixed herbs for bbq chops

Good dukkah also for grills/bbq

Probably the only one is chilli. Burn the fucking clackers out of your mouth and you may as well eat wet tissues with the sauce over it.

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

I forgot to mention mint, green tea with mint is yummo.

there is this site I found called "legalbuds" and it claims to sell hash and buds and all types of things. Not sure what it really is though.

pretty much everything I mentioned is poisonous in certain doses. pennyroyal is a kind of mint that is actually very sweet, like a mint candy. but it has abortifacient qualities and thus should not be given to pregnant women. pennyroyal *oil* is terribly poisonous and should *never* be taken internally.

like that Nirvana song "pennyroyal tea".

skullcap sounds poisonous.

was it hot?
my Thai freind turned me onto chilli, they eat it with everything.

If you like a bit of bite to your chilli do not buy that crap in the tube they sell at woolies in the grocerie section called 'gourmet garden'.

I bought the chilli one and had to use half a tube just to get the flavour even remotely hot, after that I gave up.
One tube is about as hot as adding 1 small chopped red chilli.

yes I think the yanks drop the h.

here is some explanation I got off the net

Quote:

It's because if you go back a few centuries, not only was it pronounced the French way, but it was also spelled phonetically as "erb". It was the British who added the "h" and then started pronouncing the "h", whilst the Americans retained the older pronunciation - whilst adopting the newer spelling.

So the Americans are the ones being traditional here, and the British are the ones who played around the spelling and pronunciation.

This isn't particularly unusual either; much of American pronunciation is more ancient than modern British ones. For example, the long "a" in path, bath, past etc is a relatively recent phenomenon dating from the nineteenth century. The Americans retained the older short "a" that you also still see in many of the regional English accents. It was essentially, an affectation.

So whats the diff between a herb and a spice? I have to say most used would be parsley and garlic. Boring I know, but, you can throw them into anything and it improves the flavour, except for maybe sweets.

This is from wiki, guess it pretty muchs sums it up.

Quote:

A spice is a dried seed, fruit, root, bark, or vegetative substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food additive for flavor, color, or as a preservative that kills harmful bacteria or prevents their growth.[citation needed]. Flavoring may be to hide other flavors. In the kitchen, spices are distinguished from herbs, which are leafy, green plant parts used for flavoring.
