      Probably cheap in Italy. In the US if you grow your own basil you don’t really want to publicize that cause you’ll be labeled as bougie

      And some people won’t eat anything that seems too “foreign,” like good bread and most spices and herbs.

        Weird. It’s just a plant, takes plenty of sun and water and that’s it. I’ve got two in pots, one even survived the winter, which they usually don’t, although I had to fight Noctua caterpillars. (very silent caterpillars? no, not that Noctua)
