The Herb Elimination Game: IT GOES ON
YES. ANOTHER GAME.
We are considering both the fresh and dried versions of these herbs.
the rules:
1. You may vote once daily.
2. Vote by adding a point to an herb you like, and subtracting a point from an herb you don't like.
3. Once an herb has 0 points, it is eliminated and cannot be voted for again.
4. (tentative) Once the game has come to a near standstill and all the herbs left have high points, we'll determine the winner by putting it to a poll where you can vote for one option.
The list:
5 Basil
5 Thai basil
5 Bay
5 Borage

I put my cilantro into a glass of water in the fridge and then mist it daily and it does quite well. Sadly, that doesn't work with basil.

For the record, I would not be voting for cumin. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it's not my favorite.
