never seen no western basil around here...the local variety don't taste the same...

 

 

Thailand has sweet basil and holy basil.  I doubt you would be able to tell the difference between Thai sweet basil and Western sweet basil.  I use it on pizza weekly and no one I know including a few Italian friends can tell the difference.

i accept that some people don't like tomato skin but removing the seeds is ()*&*^. oh well... to each his own.

Thousands of recipes call for seeding tomatoes.  I imagine it's a class thing.  Our maids and gardeners always ate the seeds while the folks in the main house did not.  Depends on how you were raised.  I would never presume to tell the hired help how to cook in their own kitchens.

taking out the seeds creates mash!

No it doesn't.  It creates a tomato without seeds used in most upscale cuisines. Most cultures have at least two styles of cooking.  Classical and provincial.  Seeded tomatoes are used in the classical style.   Haute cuisine  vs Cuisine bourgeoise.
