When I feel catching a cold, I make oregano tea.
Put some fresh or dried oregano leaves in a pot and pour very hot water.
Stand a minute and it will be light green color. It tastes a bit tangy, but it's good for your sinus and throat.

Actually in parts of Mexico, oregano is at least as popular as it is in Greek and Italian cooking. It is used in many dishes and will liven up any mix, especially taco spices! I use it a lot in my Mexican cooking. You have to check in the markets even here in Mexico, that you are buying real Mexican oregano, it is MUCH more pungent and flavorful than the cheaper and more common European brand.
(Once you try real Mexican oregano, you will never use the other crap.....)

oregano has a very distinct taste once you taste it you will know right away if your going to like it. you can use it in many dishes it is used almost always in tomato sauces. here is a way to tell if you like it if you like PREGO spaghetti sauce better than RAGU you must like oregano. Iprefer RAGU.

No oregano is used in many Italian and greek food such as greek salad and pasta sauce. I think it is very Mediterranean

No it will show up in many dishes.
Even use a small amount to give my Chili a boost. I luv it sprinkled on Fresh Mozzarella & Tomatoes with a little olive oil.

No I use it mostly in bolognaise sauce. It is just a nice herb to add. Basil is a bit nicer though.
Also can be used on chops and other meat dishes

NO! You should be adding it to other recipes like turkey. It spice up things & make it a great entree.
