The page I found is "Vietnamese Herb Primer" within an asian (omnivore) cooking site, I hope it will help with some of the others. Naturally, it did not answer todays question; broad leaf about 4"x2" medium green, tastes like lemons. Oh well, the hunt continues. If anyone knows this one, I'd love to find out.

I like learning flavors from other cuisines and especially for vegetarian dishes. When looking for new meatless recipes I have found that rather than using a 'meat substitute', I like to find dishes that never had it to begin with. I find a lot of Asian, Indian, African, and Middle Eastern dishes fit the bill quite nicely. I don't feel like I am approximating something else, but having it the way originally intended.

Also loves a good "burger" too though.

My honey suggested the herb could be a kaffir lime leaf.
