And one of the best sandwiches I've ever had was in Paris - a simple baguette with slices of feta cheese, properly ripe tomatoes and a couple of mint leaves. Yum.

I'll be sure to try out a few more. Susan from Food "Blogga": It's suprisingly refreshing in salads, isn't it? It's a suprise to your taste buds each time you take a bite - I love it. Anh: I guess I'm just lucky! My rampant mint probably has babies all over the neighbourhood :) rob: Thanks for that - I'll be sure to check it out. I have a post in the works (a few weeks away yet) about molecular gastronomy and it's morals (including Heston Blumenthal) which might be of interest... MeltingWok: Haha, easy is sometimes best. Mint tea is probably the simplest recipe in the world, but it works so well! Sophie: I dry herbs in big batches around the end of summer so that I have a supply to last me all the way through to the next year. There's no reason why you couldn't do it now, though.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5964','scott'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('5964','scott','Susan: I already have chocolate, but I fear it might be dying due to my very lazy planting - but you never can tell with mint.
