The Pilgrim's Pots and Pans

Meet Salé, the ever-reliable herb. In this picture, it’s still a fledgling plant not mature enough for the kitchen. This was taken sometime back and I meant to post it in a few months with a complete discussion and pictures of the fully-grown plant but comments from my previous entry on tanglé made me realise I might have confused several if not a lot of readers.

For this blog’s purpose, the system of nomenclature is usually Kapampangan /Tagalog /English (if applicable) /scientific name. Therefore, the herb in the picture is:

Salé / Tanglad / Lemon grass / Cymbopogon citratus syn. Andropogon citratus

Just to compare:
Tanglé / Alagaw / Fragrant premna / Premna odorata Blanco

Request from me to you: If you know the names of these plants in other languages, please write them down in the comments box.

I’ll be back in a day or so! Hopefully, we’ll discover more names.
