My English/Turkish dictionary doesn't make which 'Mint' clear (or perhaps it's me  :-\)

It might be 'Nane Sekeri' or even 'Darphane'

The other terms for 'Mint' refer to 'being Minted or Minting' as in 'Para' :D but they don't tell you how to do this :(:D ;)

Just root a couple of cuttings in water and plant up in a pot on the balcony and you will have all the fresh mint you want. :)

I have a 'Pineapple Mint' plant in my garden  :)

It's a lovely alternative to regular mint  :)

:D:P I've never seen it for sale Puma, a friend who moved to Spain gave me her plant. I'll willingly take a piece of root & cutting for you when the time is ripe & post them to you.

In the meantime I'll keep an eye open for the 'Rag & Bone' bloke, just in case he jumps over me trellis & nicks the lot  :o:D ;)
