What is your favourite herb?

Versatility wise, it has to go to thyme. My poor thyme plant can't keep up with me, as I visit it for a trim nearly daily while making dinner.
Flavor wise, it has to go to cilantro, and Thai basil.
But in actuality, I have never met an herb I didn't like!

That really sounds good Steve. I'm thinking about leg o lamb for valentines day.

Thyme - for the richness it adds. When I think of thyme, I think of the taste of a sofrito.

Rosemary - for what it does as part of a crust on red meats.

Sage - where would roast turkey or stuffing be without it?

Cilantro - I like cilantro best used raw; I put it in stuff that does not get cooked, or on stuff after it's cooked. On a steak that has been marinated for 15 minutes in vinegar and soy sauce, it's amazing.

For me, each of those herbs serves as a primary base (the key that the music is in). Other herbs combine to make the tune.

For Indian and Chinese foods, my vote is fresh coriander (cilantro?).

I'm not going to read thru the 875,642 replies but I'll take rosemary.

I have to go with hops. You know, the kind they brew with. Second, I would have to agree with Thyme, it goes with almost everything . . . like hops.

Sounds like a good 'Loney rub!!!

Hehehee. Uh, right. You must have missed the link in my first post.

In August of '07, as I recall it, we were e-visiting about herb flavored bread and about a week later I got the unmarked bag of spices & herbs from you with instructions on how to use it.

You must have mentioned the name zaatar, because that is my writing on the bag, and I had never heard of it before.

I love this post!!!!!

First the spice supplies today and then this!
