Micha,
You are correct. Asiago is, of course, a cheese. Parsley and Bananas are the only herbs listed. Grapes, being from a woody vine, are not herbs. I hope this narrows it down for everyone.

Nice link Micha. I will probably be fired now. And I didn't even get to see it.

It's a joke. I haven't been walked to the door yet.
But if they catch me playing at Apolyton all day they just might fire me.

Who ever voted Banana is correct - and yes it is an herb.
[ from: http://tvwiki.sytes.net/pmwiki/pmwi...Main/BananaPeel ]
Guaranteed to send a character into a skid, slide or fall, a Banana Peel is one of the most dangerous things you can encounter in a cartoon. Just stepping on one will inevitably lead to some variety of injury, often capped by a case of Circling Birdies.
The use of a banana peel as an injurious prop is actually alarmingly realistic and a reference to its ubiquity on the streets of American cities in the early part of the 20th Century. Refrigeration and shipping speed had combined to make bananas the most popular fruit in the country, and in that age before anti-littering laws, people would just eat the fruit and discard the peels wherever they were. As they rotted, the peels would become quite slippery and thus dangerous to tread upon. Banana peels were in fact responsible for a large number of accidents and injuries, including several severely broken legs that eventually had to be amputated, according to period sources. The problem grew so bad that modern urban street sanitation systems were invented mostly to deal with the peel; in New York City, the banana peel actually became something of a symbol of modern sanitation.

Hello Micha,
I find it very interesting, that you put up my banana pic here. My friends told me about this forum here and that my picture comes up first when typing in "banana", "Leder" or other words.
Well, just wanted to say hi!

Business has been slow and I need a way to draw in customers from the Three Weeds.
