Panfusine, I appreciate Ur original answer. It was helpful. I m a basic scratch cook. I don't fancy myself to be a chef extrodinaire. When I can get to the farmers market I buy fresh basil. I wouldn't know about IHOP because I do not eat any processed food, or any food from sentient beings. Don't dwell on it too much Pierino, you're alright. Thanks again Panfusine!
Dried basil is not in any way equivalent to fresh. It might look classy sprinkled on a plate next to your eggs at IHOP but it doesn't impart a flavor anything close to a chiffonade of fresh leaves.
