a most delightful example of the positively most ideal way to convey one's market bounty back to the cottage. In the vintage Triumph convertible with the top down (being whipped by ten-foot briars and bombarded by huge flies, but, that's another story). Although we enjoyed our own procured plants and strawberries no less than our neighbor, it was markedly more disorganized how we got them home.
.....a big sprig of rosemary from Peter's garden....
I read or heard many years ago that whole fish would be covered in thick matts of rosemary for the journey across the water to the market on the mainland. Something in the rosemary helped keep the fish from going off. Is this true?
