I only have a question- what is drie “dragon” ?
what flavour to use on a yoghart?
what is dragon and what can replace it?
what dried thyme and what can replace it?
what are bay leaves?
+1 for what is dried dragon.
It is either dried dragon fruit or dried Tarragon.. But which one?
It is tarragon. An old name for tarragon was ‘little dragon mugwort’ (many common wild plants have really weird names, e.g. Hypericum = St John’s wort), but a more likely source is the Latin languages. While it is Estragon in French, another name is Dragon, while the Greek and Arabic names mean ‘Dragon’.
