Many legends exist about the herb, rosemary. Long believed to improve memory, it was often used in weddings and funerals. Brides would wear rosemary wreaths to help remember wedding vows. Funeral mourners would toss rosemary sprigs into graves, symbolizing that the dead would not be forgotten. The Chinese used rosemary to ward off headaches and cure baldness; the Greeks, to improve digestion and aid the liver; and the Italians, for cooking. Rosemary’s pungent, piney flavor goes well with poultry, lamb & game, and especially roasted with potatoes.
Garlic, a Central Asian native, dates back to 4000 BC. Egyptians worshipped garlic, placing clay models of garlic bulbs in King Tut’s tomb. In some cultures, garlic was even used as currency. This pungent herb has been a staple in Mediterranean, Asian, African cooking for centuries. Although garlic’s virtues have been extolled throughout the ages in literature, medicine and recipes, it was not always popular in the USA. Socially frowned upon during the early 20th century, and found only in ethnic cooking, America did not embrace the “Bronx Vanilla” or “Italian Perfume” until mid-century. Yet, we now consume garlic to the tune of 250+ million pounds per year, 90% of which is grown in California!
