Pineapple Mint

I couldnt resist buying one of these yesterday as I'd never heard of it before, anyone got one - does it taste owt like pineapple?

 

Don't know about pineapple mint, but last year I bought a chocolate mint ................ and no, I don't mean an After Eight :D . It really is a mint plant that smells just like chocolate! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have got Ginger Mint, its very pretty with a sort of stripe in yellow and green..dont know why they call it Ginger Mint, does not smell or taste of Ginger :confused: PIneapple mint, is that the cream and green leaved one? Like the sound of Sage Cats chocolate mint

 

Yeah thats the one Poppy, it's very pretty - I smelled a ginger mint too and thought it did smell gingery!!

Sagecat I'd have permanent munchies if I had a chocolate mint near me!! :D

 

I have 2 raised beds which i have crammed full of different flavoured or scented herbs, mainly mints and thymes. I was looking for the chocolate mint but couldnt find any this year. i did have the ginger mint which i also thought smelled gingery, but sadly, whilst all the others have really prospered, the ginger mint has deteriorated into a stalk with virtually no leaves. I have now discovered why and as a friend commented (in jest i hope!)the slug probably tastes nice.

 

you can get any variety of mint from this company for �£1.50 each..if you go into their page just type mint into the search and click the common name and the whole list will come up..
