Tarragon’s mild anise-y flavor is distinctive enough to make or break a dish. An especially good friend to eggs and chicken, tarragon is a good all-around spice to impart a delicate earthiness to a dish. As James Beard wrote, “If ever I had to practice cannibalism, I might manage if there were enough tarragon around.”
