ever dumbening essentially i am oily no fair, mr. mad, that's cheating. you get two in one. now _i_ claim schenanegans.

as an aside, i love both, but if forced to decide: the seed wins (though the leaf was quite lovely in my soup tonight).

and to address this yet another silly little pussy poll, i say

BASIL!

u24 depends what it's going with, so I'll describe a nice meal for you;

pork steak with cloves
-or-
roasted chicken breast wrapped in pancetta ham, with a bay leaf tucked inside

potatoes, seasoned with thyme and oregon
-or-
stilton mash.

green salad with garlic and chilli dressing and chopped red peppers
-or-
roasted halved red and green peppers with assorted herbs

says yum.

u24 vegetarian option:

steamed vegatables (cauliflower, broccoli, carrot, sweetcorn, peas, peppers, tomatos, etc) with *plenty* of aromatic herbs; (basil, thyme, oregon)

with sauteéd potatoes, cooked with a generous splash of port (shiraz may do, I suppose)


Starter Choices:

the omnipresent prawn cocktail, served in an ice cold brandy glass, with 2 large lettuce leaves lining it, filled with -peeled- prawns, topped with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper and ground chilli seeds (or paprika, for the faint hearted) with a light dressing consiting mainly of mayonnaise and wholegrain mustard.

-or-

french onion soup (from a can, with chopped shallots on top)

I'm not very good with deserts.

misstree garlic. and then some more garlic. and then some more. until my garlic bread becomes a delicious test of will.

the nutmeg / clove / ginger family also figures heavily in my cooking, along with the occasional inappropriate food dye.
