Well, that's interesting, too. I read that lovage is quite strong and that the flavor runs in the celery-parsley-anise pathway. Curious to hear your experience of it.

Same color? I love the purple variety best when I can get it for my garden. And it's just so damned pretty.

Btw, re the miso vinaigrette? I used Kenji's NYT recipe which I believe you're also a fan of, but did not use Balsamic Vinegar. Rather I used more white wine vinegar and dropped in two little heads of fermented black garlic which I picked up on my last visit to a Korean market. OMG, good.

Both shiso and Korean perilla have red and green varieties.
