Maybe we have different opinions on what's sweet.I tend to dislike tjings that are too sweet.
I do not know whether myrtle is mirto. I mean, I have seem mirto (the plant) only one and I have never sen myrtle in my whole live, therefore I do not know wether they ar the same thing or not. I will check out on a vocabulary tonight.
Also, I have found the recipe for mirto by Allegrone from Sardinia. Those of you who can read Italian can find it here http://tinyurl.com/4tap. Tonight I will try to translate it in English and post it on the food board tomorrow.
