No-one managed to identify all 15 herbs correctly so the prize goes to the person who managed to identify the most. That person is Jules (Suburban Veg Plot. Jules also was one of the names in the hat for the last competition so it's second time lucky for her. Please email me the address to which you want the prize sending, Jules.
The next competition will be posted later this week and the prize will be A Pictorial Field Guide - Fruit Seeds. Each of the books has the same format with only the section on specific seeds being different.

I'm not familiar with Angelica at all - what do you use it for Sue?
ReplyDeleteI have to admit to never actually using any, Liz. We were given the plant. You can candy the young stemds by boiling the stems in sugar syrup. The stems can be cooked with rhubarb or apple for pies or crumbles. They’re also used in jams and preserves, and the leaves are supposed to go well with fish or in salads. Anyone else used it?
DeleteCongratulations to Jules, I wouldn't have stood a chance.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the fruit competition will be more your cup of tea, Jo
DeleteYou didn't list no 16 Sue! Oh no its ok you went from 14 to 16. The only one that really confused me was no. 11 and no. 8
ReplyDeleteWell spotted Elaine - I've added a bit to the post explaining that I got the numbering wrong. As it's a screen grab that is easier than regrabbing!
DeleteCongratulations to Jules!! I have never heard of Angelica so i am going to look that one up!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you remember the little sugared green diamond shapes that are used to decorate the top of buns (cup cakes), Tanya. That's angelica.
DeleteCongratulation to Jules. I was laughing to myself I don't get half of them right ;-).
ReplyDeleteYou got more like two thirds right Diana.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for your commented congrats. Huge thanks to you, Sue, for running these competitions - they're really challenging and fun to enter. Though after this one I think I might need to give my brain a bit of a rest!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Jules - hope the book arrives safely
DeleteThe herbs look so easy - now that you've listed what they are lol!
