I'll be buying one or two of these plants as soon as my local nursery gets
them in, probably this week. I'm thinking I'll be using the leaves the same
way I might use banana leaves -- tamales and steaming meats, for example.

Does anyone here have any experience cooking with hoja santa leaves?

No I don't, unfortunately, but it sure is nice to see one of the
regulars again, it sure has been quiet.

Thanks for the kind words, Paul. As it happens, the good people at my local
nursery now tell me the hoja santa shipment is still a few weeks away. It's
also known as "root beer plant" north of the border, since it smells
somewhat like sassafras.

No, David Wright did *not* write "test." You did.

BTW, there is a newsgroup site specifically for test messages. Do you have
anything to say about Mexican cooking?
