Sew Dew
Latin Name: Rosmarinus officinalis
Family: Labiatae
Description
"As for rosemarine, I lett it runne all over my garden walls, not onlie because my bees love it, but because it is the herb sacred to remembrance, and, therefore, to friendship; whence a sprig of it hath a dumb language that maketh it the chosen emblem of our funeral wakes and in our burial grounds".
-- Sir Thomas More
Rosemary has a pungent, woodsy flavour. Use it with fowl, red meats, organ meats, rabbit, pork, fish, potatoes, carrots, turnip, cauliflower and bean casserole. For aromatic cooking smoke, toss rosemary sprigs on hot coals.
