We went to visit our relatives in Germany when I was about 20 and my mother went looking all over at the groceries for the seasoning that her mother had used when she made beans. My aunt in Germany showed my mom what it was and my mom brought a packet back to Ohio with her, and again whenever she went to visit her sister. My mom has since passed away and my jar of the "bean seasoning" is close to empty. Thank you so much for your blog, and the English name of the herb! I grow herbs in my flower beds and inside so I will certainly be planting some savory! We always used it in green beans from the garden and I can't eat them without it now!Carol Schnappnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-33914691594172356552009-02-15T10:53:00.000+01:002009-02-15T10:53:00.000+01:00Winter Savory's one of my herb garden stalwarts.

I think it's fairly common here in southern France. It goes well with tomatoes, as most Mediterranean herbs do. I hadn't heard of the connection with beans, though.chaiselonguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372135992072231446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-47297701982046818702009-02-10T21:26:00.000+01:002009-02-10T21:26:00.000+01:00I've heard of it, but I don't know if I've tasted ...I've heard of it, but I don't know if I've tasted it.
