I love fresh mint - the smell, the flavor. I got some at the store today, and it ended up being somewhat of a debacle. The poor woman at the register had never seen fresh mint, and didn't know how to ring it up. Frantically she asked other employees - no one had ever seen a bunch of fresh mint. The manager was baffled and had to go find the mint mixed in with the herbs to figure out what to charge me. Even then, she had no idea, and instead made up a price. After 10 minutes I was too annoyed to argue. But what fascinated (and saddened) me most was that no one had ever seen fresh mint before. Granted as a child we never used fresh herbs - in fact it wasn't until college that I knew parsley was more than just a decoration for the dinner plate. But come on, mint?? At least I got it and could rush home to make mojitos (to accompany the roast lamb shoulder). :)
As per my thought it is used for the good aroma. There are some bad breath came out when some people talks. At that time it is useful to get the good smell. If you put mint in your mouth then there is very good smell came out from your mouth.
