Clearly I need to fill in some holes in my cooking herbal collection,
which has proven to have a glaring lack east and south of Europe.
Since so many people have said they use it with no ill-effect, perhaps
it might be more to the point to determine how much is too much, or at
least what a safe range is.
So how much rue is called for in the average recipe that uses it?
What is the largest concentration you have ever used? [This "you" is
meant to the list at large, not to point a finger at Duke Cariadoc.]
