Leeks, cucumber, or burnet vinegar; celery, or celery seed pounded. The latter, though equally strong, does not impart the delicate sweetness of the fresh vegetable; and when used as a substitute, its flavour should be corrected by the addition of a bit of sugar. Cress seed, parsley, common thyme, lemon thyme, orange thyme, knotted marjoram, sage, mint, winter savoury, and basil.
I have boiled the meat, onions, carrots, and leeks, and parsley in the bargain." "Wicked wretch!" cried the farmer, "had you the heart to kill the innocent creature that was the joy of the house?"
