I was asked this yesterday:   

Do you know what the most popular 10 herbs are in the United Kingdom ?

I'll let you know later,  no cheating though.   :D  Mrs Bouquet

Shall I start us off with the easy ones?    Mint, sage, rosemary, oregano, basil, chives, parsley and thyme.  These are the ones I use most and grow myself.

Can I add dill and Coriander, I suppose Mustard & Cress could be on the list  :unsure:

Coriander is probably on the list +/- dill, tarragon and fennel. Bay leaves get a lot of use here as well.

I only had a quick guess at the eight that came to mind.  I must admit I hadn't counted to see how many I'd listed.

Are you counting both types of Parsley (flat and curly) as different entries?

I'd add chilli to the list of entries.

Well, there you go - I'd never have expected to see lemon grass in the top 10  ::)

I'm really surprised that sage isn't used more.  I use loads of it, but each to their own I suppose.  Melt butter in a pan until sizzling. add loads of sage leaves and saute until crispy, then add cooked gnocchi and toss for a few minutes. Yummy - but very bad for you I would think!
