ZZZ DISCONTINUED Chervil Plant

A biennial plant that is related to Parsley. It produces white flowers and has long tapering roots.

Native to Caucasus but spread throughout Europe by the Romans. Now used widely in France for seasoning poultry and seafood because of it's delicate flavour with faint tastes of liquorice or aniseed.

Chervil quickly looses it's flavour when it is cooked or dried to is recommended to be used fresh or added just before serving a dish.

Apparently the slugs are attracted to this, so it can be useful to grow near plants you don't want eaten! Alternatively you will need to protect it.

It is said that if you infuse Chervil into vinegar it can be used as a cure for hiccups!
