Comments
Spelling = parsley - le persil (not parsil)
Can you help me? I have some herb salt from France. One of the herbs is called "liveche" What's this in English? Thanks
Tilleul: not the citrus, but the linden tree or lime tree
What is manne en larme and mauve. They are ingredients in a herbal tea I can’t find the meaning
I know this is an old post, but I have Liviche in my garden - it's related to celery.
‘Bay leaf’ or ‘bay leaves’, not ‘bay leave’
Mauve and guimauve are mallow.
Herbes de Provence, not herbs.
I’m looking for Allspice in France, somewhere I read it’s called “Pimento”?
piment
is that
feverfew in French please
