There's an interesting site on Yahoo that tells you what different herbs taste like. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090829062157AAzSpGl
I know there are some that I don't care for at all. One of those is rosemary. To me it tastes like I'm eating a pine tree. The other is cilantro. I think it tastes like soap. Love Mexican food (especially huevos rancheros), but I always check to see if there is going to be any cilantro in it. My favorite of all the herbs and spices is garlic. I occasionally make 40 clove garlic chicken soup which is just my regular recipe with 40 cloves of garlic added toward the end so they are just tender and smushy.
Talking of herbs made me think of the song. Anyone remember Marianne Faithfull's song Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme? I think I'll look it up on YouTube and reminisce about my long lost hippie days.
