Thank you @fermentedphil. You are definitely not reading into anything. You have interpreted that bird brain accurately. She was so disgusted with us that she has made her nest elsewhere. We had a good laugh at her face when she discovered us discovering her secret!
Wild rocket is fabulous! The "tamed" table version is far milder in taste. But as you say dies back. My wild rocket, I am happy to say, has almost taken over in some of my gardens. I love it because we also eat it daily. I've never cooked with it though. Doesn't it lose that bite when heated? What meals do you cook it in?
It is so cute that we could share in her disgusted face! I would have felt the same 😅
I haven't cooked with wild rocket yet. I mainly use them for salads, garnishing and pestos. They make awesome pesto! I made one last week with pasta. Insanely flavorful sauce. But normal salad rocket, they grow so big in my garden, almost twice the size of my hands sometimes. I cook them like I cook spinach. I use them to make a vegetarian/vegan lasagne. They change flavor due to the cooking, but the end product is so much more flavorful than spinach.
Thanks for sharing! I can imagine it would be a more intense flavour than spinach! I'm going to try it.
