Lovage isn't quite as obscure as the article makes it out to be. I didn't recognize the English name of the herb but I remember having seen the Norwegian name on restaurant menus and it doesn't even grow here outside of gardens. It seems to still be reasonably common in southern European food.
- stdbrouw 5y agoFor anyone who might be put off from reading the article: lovage is mentioned in the article but isn't the lost mystery herb from the title.
- tpm 5y agoMaybe in some countries it is obscure and not easily available. Here (Central Europe) it is commonly used in broths and herbal teas. It is sometimes called Maggi-herb because the taste or aroma is perceived to be similar to the Maggi seasoning sauce.
