Neat promotional bookmark. Obviously I never planted the seeds, and nearly ten years after Panacea was published I don’t know how likely they would be to grow. Not that I use basil for much anyway.

What does one use basil for at all? I have no idea…

It’s an herb used for seasoning I think. Gets used in a lot of Italian dishes. Supposed to be good for you.
I’ve never had any use for it, but I don’t do a lot of cooking.

Me neither. I know we have a cupboard with spices, but not sure what’s actually in there š

All I know about spices is that they last forever because you don’t use that much, and that you have to know what you’re doing to use them at all.

Definitely in Italian cookery, also Tomato & Basil soup is a thing.

Haven’t tried it. But I’m not really a big soup person. Unless it’s that French onion soup with the cheese on top.
