Poor parsley (curly leaf)

If anyone refers to Cilantro, death by firing squad.

[Finn]

There are THREE types of Basil???? Very sorry but some of us are working class

 

[Eddie]

There are MORE!

 

[Eddie]

And don't give me that working class nonsense, I saw GREEK BASIL in a Morrisons a few months ago.

Excuse me where is the powder what comes with your Pot Noodle?

VEGETABLE INNIT

Herb or vegetable? Flexible celery is both and more

There’s a celery cultivar out there for almost any culinary application, from Asian soups to a cheesy bake

www.theguardian.com

Just disgusting.

 

[Eddie]

MSG is NOT A HERB.

NEITHER ARE SALT AND PEPPER WHILE WE ARE AT IT.

Oh yes, good point. The leaves are used as herbs.

I put them in my soffritto.

 

[Eddie]

I hate celery raw but it is pretty essential cooked.

 

[lolly]

I though celery salt was a herb in its own right for years. It was the only seasoning we had in the house other than table salt, ground white pepper, malt vinegar and a jif lemon.

She has a few jars of dried herbs in her cupboard now, but I'm quite sure my mum has never cooked with a fresh herb, other than making mint sauce for lamb.

 

[Star]

Four types surely? ->

 

[lolly]

I'm the opposite. Unless it's blended to the point of oblivion, anyway.

 

[Star]

When I get my new kitchen I'm totally going to grow all these herbs Probably won't get round to cooking with them, but I'm going to grow them in lovely pots.

 

[Eddie]

It pretty much melts into a ragu though and is always blended as the base of most soups.

 

[Eddie]

It adds an essential vegetal flavour.

 

[lolly]

It pretty much melts into a ragu though and is always blended as the base of most soups.

That's fine. My memory of it is sliced into perhaps half inch chunks in my mother's stews. And they very much didn't melt.

Most of them don't really do well indoors though. I do grow most in pots outside.

My flat leaf parsley is still showing lush growth and the Mediterranean herbs were essential at Christmas.

One herb I absolutely would not not grow is Tarragon. You can never find it in the supermarkets. Chervil too, but that is too tender.

That's a spice you cretin

 

[Eddie]

I dice it so small it isn't noticeable. But yes, huge chunks are a no-no.

 

[Eddie]

That's a spice you cretin

It's an ARTFICIAL FLAVOUR ENHANCER.

I actually have MSG is the pantry to use in certain dishes. It's pretty much impossible to mimic.

 

[GNL]

So much for WORKING CLASS SOLIDARITY, Finnley

 

[lolly]

I dice it so small it isn't noticeable. But yes, huge chunks are a no-no.

It wouldn't be fried like in a soffritto either. Just chucked in, in large chunks. So there's no aroma release or depth of flavour. Just chunks of BOILED CELERY

 

[Eddie]

That sounds as vile as celery and soft cheese sandwiches.

How the fuck did he miss Oregano?

I love it, and it’s so FLEXIBLE. I’m sure it’s not supposed to go in everything but there’s very few savoury dishes I wouldn’t add it to.
