Food Network we are not

While Helena was talking to Jackie about Armenian food, or possibly regular food which Helena always seems to spin the Armenian angle into, Jackie asked a somewhat innocent question.

Helena: So there's lemon, garlic, onions.....paprika paste...
Jackie: Paprika paste? Is that like dried?
Helena: No, it's a paste
(cut)

Okay Jackie, you'll get a free pass considering that paprika paste is a somewhat rare ingredient in non-Armenian dishes.

But there is no excuse for what was asked next.

Helena: and then you put in some dried mint.
Jackie: Dried mint? That's like what?


Please leave a comment to Jackie about what you think dried mint is.

Jackie, please feel free to defend yourself in the comments section.

The comment board is now open.

I also forgot to say that she tried to redeem herself by saying that's not what she meant, she was wondering what it looks like. I'm not sure if that's any better.
