Weekend Herb Blogging # 184 Round up

Here we are, WHB # 184 Recap is done, are you ready for it?

Let me give you some numbers, I love maths:

- Weekend Herb Blogging, one of the longest world wide blog event created by Kalyn in 2005, now under Haalo's direction: thanks both for your work!

- 7 countries participating, thank you all! It's been nice to travel with you all around the world to get a little taste from each: starting from Italy I had a bit of Greece, Scotland, Usa from East to West, Canada, Australia and Philippines, so it's your turn now!
- 13 varieties of herbs: calamintha nepeta, mint, oregano, saffron, cinnamon, cilantro, parsley, thyme, rosemary, sumac, paprika, cumin, chili powder, some of them unknown to me.

- 17 different vegetables: mushrooms, eggplants, lentils, squash, asparagus, potatoes, stamnaggathi (cichorium spinosum), onions and spring onions, fennel bulb, rhubarb, cucumbers, radishes, scallions, jicama, peppers, zucchini, garlic, cannellini beans, some really astonished me.

- 1 flower: dandelion (taraxacum officinale), we are so plenty everywhere in the countryside!

- 12 fruits: pomegranate, banana heart bud, pecans, pears, raisins, nuts, tomatoes, lemons, orange, lime, avocado, prunes, some really never seen and tasted.

Still I have learned a lot and bet you will too.

No chatters anymore but let me introduce you to this delicious recap: enjoy your foodie trip!
