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.

Yeah, I at least want to get it into the finals. It's one of my favorite herbs ever!

I'm not sure that I've ever had it without other lemon type herbs so I'm not sure but I think so. I'm growing some right now so I'll get back to you on that.
Lemongrass+Lemon Balm= <3
have you ever had kaffir? shit's amazing.
I went to a Vietnamese market the first time I bought kaffir leaves. The produce was labeled in multiple languages, none English, and I wasn't for certain what it looked like. Luckily, I stood there long enough in my perplexity for another shopper to be close enough to ask.

Ooooo, I want to try it!
omg, thai lime leaves are AMAZING. Seriously, NEXT. FUCKING. LEVEL.
p.s. Minke, why bother with lemon balm? You're the only one who'll vote for it in the final round.
agreed with sb. unless there's someone else who's tried it as a culinary herb, let alone likes it?
what's particularly great about lime leaves is the AROMA. OMG.
I like an infusion of fresh lemon balm, when I can get it.
