It's like all the flavors got married and had a baby.
LOL

I agree, and I say the same thing, only that the flavors not only marry, they have sex too. In my mouth!

Interesting soup, what does lavage taste like, or resemble from other herbs? I took a soup making course from a chef at a college at night, once upon a time.

Update on seafood linguine: because hubby can't eat shrimp, there was something missing tastewise. I used lobster and clams and made a cream and butter sauce with asiago cheese. Hubby liked it, but for me, something was awry.

Great recipe,, never heard of it but

OMG.
We have lovage or Libbsticka as it's called here, it should do well up there...

I'm not crazy about it, it's better to substitute celery. it's like celery on steroids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovage

I've seen that growing in back yards of older houses, it was used more years ago than now.

My mom and dad have one of those in the back garden. I can't stand it, it is a bit like celery but more of a strong and nasty brother of celery.

Yeah we have that growing up at the cabin. Huge bush. It goes well in soups, but it has a strong flavor so use caution.

Hey Unique S, Jay's correct, strong celery would be as close as I could describe lovage. I use celery salt and also chop celery pieces in mine. There are not many lovage fans, it's a tad much for most.

Hi Strigoi (how did you get that handle?)

I've never seen it in the supermarkets here. I too use celery salt and celery pieces when cooking, but celery salt too is very strong, I find. I like celery salt on my home fries with breakfast.

**Octo** · 06-15-2018, 05:56 PM

I'd just use celery instead.

We had some wonderful Vietnamese spring rolls.

Hey Octo. I find it almost impossible to find good spring rolls from any culture where they melt in your mouth.

**Octo** · 06-15-2018, 08:13 PM

Considering this is a very small town we're so lucky to have 2 Vietnamese food stands. Kieu makes the best spring rolls using local produce. I hear the Swedes rave about them too because they don't have this kind of spring rolls there.

I don't consume Asian food (as a rule) but there was a restaurant in NYC that was kinda okay.
Similar name and style.
