if you haven't met this wonderful herb before, you ought to find it and say hello, even better, add it to your next salad or sandwich meal.... it's gorgeous. strong peppery in taste, it brings extra flavour to any simple combination of tomatoes, mozarella, or even chunks of pears and cheese with a generous drizzle of olive oil. moreover, its ancient medicinal value makes its contribution to any meal a delightful treat!
