Default Good King Henry and other 'odd' herbs

The message
from "ajr" contains these words:

I'm sure that I must have sampled sorrel at some point, however I must admit
that I have no idea, off the top of my head, what it tastes like!


Sour.

What is its flavour? Nick mentioned earlier that it was good with "fat
meat", so I assumed that it would have a sage like flavour, but (presumably)
if it compliments fish as well it is a lot more 'delicate'.


No, no 'herby' flavour, just a very sharp taste.

Anyway, I'm getting hold of some seeds tommorow so by the end of the summer
I'll know if it's worth keeping, or throwing on the compost heap!


Nice in salads.
