| Mar 31, 2016 at 13:32 | comment | added | Escoce | Yeah so I did some more research. The compounds that make the anise flavor are the same in tarragon, fennel, anise, Mexican tarragon, and licorice, so this isn't it because I can taste it in all the others. I must just be really unlucky trying to get some real French tarragon in my life. | |
| Mar 31, 2016 at 13:03 | comment | added | Escoce | Yeah, I don't think that's it. I think French tarragon is a lot harder to get due to mislabeling etc. I honestly think I quite simply bought more Russian tarragon labeled as French tarragon. How can French tarragon be tasteless? | |

| Mar 30, 2016 at 17:33 | comment | added | Escoce | So do you think it's me? That I simply can't taste the anise flavor that should be in French tarragon? I mean really, as far as licorice taste goes, it seems to taste no more like licorice than grass. I am actually wondering if I am getting bad tarragon or that it's Russian tarragon that the herb producer just isn't tasting and doesn't realize he/she has the wrong one. My problem is, since I discovered I didn't in fact have tarragon in the past, but Mexican tarragon that maybe I just don't know what French tarragon is supposed to taste like. | |
