Coriander
Rau mùi (Pronunciation via Google Translate: click here), that's what I call this herb in Vietnamese, in German it's Koriander (and coriander in english). Rau means vegetable, mùi means odour; taken together it is something like vegetable with odour. When a plant is called like that, one expect it to have a particularly strong odour. One might think, this plant has to earn the name. But I think that there are other vegetables and herbs that have a much more intense odour. But languages have their own way of doing things, so I accept it.
Whatever. I did it like my mum and sowed coriander myself this year. Whether I can proudly tell my mum in a few weeks' time that my coriander has grown, remains to be seen. Keep your fingers crossed that I have a green thumb!
