No thanks to the soy-coffee
I was at a Soybean seminar yesterday and I sat beside the Tetrapak R&D lady and we were talking about Nescafe's Soy Coffee
I was like "I wonder how it tastes like"
She said "Don't bother. It's really horrible"

one is grown in the church, the other.. in someone's backyard...
what's a holy basil? consecrated in some god's name?
There is also a variety of Ocimum tenuiflorum which is used in Thai cuisine, and is referred to as "Thai holy basil", or kha phrao[4]—not be confused with "Thai Basil", which is a variety of Ocimum basilicum.
Basil (Ocimum basilicum) (IPA: /ˈbæzÉ™l/ or /ˈbeɪzÉ™l/), of the Family Lamiaceae. Basil is a tender low-growing herb that is grown as a perennial in warm, tropical climates. Basil is originally native to Iran, India and other tropical regions of Asia, having been cultivated there for more than 5,000 years. There are many varieties of basil. That which is used in Italian food is typically called sweet basil, as opposed to Thai basil, lemon basil and holy basil, which are used in Asia.
It should be noted that there are three types of basil commonly used in Thai cooking. This page refers to the most common one, which is known as horapa (Thai: โหระพา) in Thai. To avoid confusion, the other two types are Thai holy basil (Thai: �ะเพรา)[1], and Thai lemon basil (Thai: �มงลั�), both of which are also used in Thai cooking but have quite different flavours.
Thai basil should also not be confused with Tulasi, which is known and worshipped in India and is also often known as Holy basil. Both Thai holy basil and Tulasi have smaller, softer, slightly hairy leaves and an aroma akin to that of cloves.

The most well known dish made with this herb is Pad kaphrao (Thai: ผัดà¸�ะเพรา)—beef, pork or chicken stir fried with Thai holy basil.
