Chocolate Mint
« on: May 31, 2009, 18:50 »
After succesfully killing my mint last year, I have 3 chocolate mints coming in the next few days.

I wanted to grow it more for the smell than the cooking side, then I began to think, how do you cook it?

Do I throw it in the pan with the spuds, or will that make my spuds taste of After Eights?!!

Staffies are softer than you think.

Think it would make you spuds taste a bit odd but what about using it to flavour things like desserts?

Or Choc mojitos!!!
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

I've got mine in a big pot by the path so it gets bruised when i walk past...  Some poor people can't smell the chocolate you know....

I used a bit once for cooking but I wasn't too impressed - far nicer just to smell and keep the spearmint for the pot.
