I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'choice' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'of potherbs' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'OTHER' is hidden in the letters of 'potherbs'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for other that I've seen before include "Different (from those mentioned)" , "Alternative of two" , "Different, disparate" , "Second" , "Alternative - unrelated" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
