It has been noticed of sea-kale, that, on eating it, it does not impart to the urine that strong and unpleasant scent which asparagus and other vegetables do. SKIRRETS. Sium Sisarum. The roots of this plant are very similar to parsneps, both in flavour and quality; they are rather sweeter, and not quite so agreeable to some palates. It is a biennial sown in March, and used all the winter.
My lad!" panted the farmer, "I am sorry." "Thanky, farmer; but fine words butter no parsneps. Theer, bairn," he cried, putting his arm round his wife's waist; "don't cry that away. We aren't owd folks, and I'm going to begin again. Be a good dry plaace after fire's done, and theer'll be some niced bits left for yow to heat the oven when fire's out." "And no oven, no roof, no fireside."
SEA-ORACH, GRASS-LEAVED. Atriplex littoralis. This plant is eaten in the same manner as the Chenopodium. SEA-BEET. Beta maritima. This is a common plant on some of our sea-coasts. The leaves are very good boiled, as are also the roots. SILVER-WEED. Potentilla anserina. The roots of this plant taste like parsneps, and are frequently eaten in Scotland either roasted or boiled.
Being sorry won't butter no parsneps," growled Bob. "No," said Dexter mildly, "but we haven't got any parsneps to butter." "No, nor ain't likely to have," growled Bob, and then returning to a favourite form of expression: "And you call yourself a mate! Here, come and kitch holt of this scull."
Parsley is also smaller in all its parts. Alexanders differs from it, as a plant not of so high growth. Angelica may be mistaken for this, but has a more agreeable scent. All the water parsneps may be confounded with it: but these are known by the smallness of the umbels; and they are generally in bloom, so that this circumstance is a good criterion.
They showed the Indians that they regarded the comfort and good of their bodies, as well as of their souls; giving them at Easter a great feast of potatoes, parsneps, turnips, beets, beans, and pease, to impress upon them the advantages of civilization, and taking pains that the requirements of religion should not interfere with the fishery or the chase.
