John was right about the garlic and butter being key, but since
there are only 5 ingredients they are all important. The mint may be
the most important of all for the distinctive flavor of this dish. I
like foods where something sounds like it doesn't belong but is really
good. For instance, when I was a kid we'd eat cherry or apple pie
with a huge dollop of sour cream on it. Sounds almost sickening, but
the sour cream with the sweetness is fantastic, better than icecream
even. The mint is good. And the dried is stronger and better for
this dish than fresh, as far as I know.
