I don't think I knew what fresh basil was till I was 30.

I don't even know what basil is because I could not care less about learning English spice names nor do I care enough to look it up. I'm guessing it's those eatable leaves though because those are called Basilikum in German. The name also allows English basil "enjoyers" to make a pun and we all know this is a sign of a correct translation.

Oh, that's "sweet basil"? Interesting, I've never seen any with those spikes on the outside of the leaves. The ones I've seen were perfectly smooth.
