Hi Andrew,

Rusty's right, it's pretty sour, also somewhat lemony I think, but naturally
YMMV as taste is so subjective. It's more of a salad taste than and herby
taste, to me.

BTW in the sauce I mentioned I neglected to say the sorrel should be lightly
sauteed, about 10 seconds.

It may take a bit to get established. (It does stay green all winter, although the
leaves are too small for anything that requires a lot.) Anyway, if you don't like
it you can always sell it at the local market!
