What's your favourite herb?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Just for those of us missing Black Horizons' pointless polls...

I'm going for parsley. Because of Parsley the Lion in The Herb Garden.

Mint and basil both are good.. but I like chives best because of the name and flavour.

Cumin isn't a herb; it's a spice.

Wheras a banana is a herb and not a fruit. Or to be pedantic its a tri-chromosomed pseudo fruit.

'strue. Trust me; I'm an ex-chef :innocent:
Something pithy.

Absolutely! No dill? C'mon MF, if that's the extent of your herblore I guess I won't be inviting myself round to yours for tea.

Wacked out indeed. :notworthy:

Aah. Off the top of my head:

Parsley the lion
Dill the dog
Bayleaf the gardener
Lady Rosemary (and Lord Basil?)
Sage the owl
Tarragon the dragon

Classic stuff. I could probably sing the theme tunes for each character if pushed...

For some reason wife-collecting doesn't freak me out, whereas animated herbs set to music put the fear of god in me. I found out years later that my cousin was scared of The Herb Garden as well so maybe it's genetic :?

Yeah, all well and good but what was the 'secret word' to open the door to the Herb garden?
