More a herb really but as herbs in general can count a lot towards a
balanced intake of greens and stuff when used in Mediterranean
proportions and this one grows local so is cheap then yes.

An essential ingredient of both summer and winter fair we would have
neither coleslaw nor bubble and squeak without it. Albeit inferior
bubble but bubble nonetheless.

the gloves are okay - probably not up to everyday use in the winter but
I've used them as a 2nd pair on a couple of summer tours to the Alps.
They were used on wet days on both tours and remained waterproof. They
kept my hands warm at altitude.

I keep a pair of those handy as spares and they are quite warm in
winter with plenty of feel.

Zackerly. According to Lidl's website it is. Old price of 29p/kilo
crossed out, in favour of 68p and a proud boast that it's 'down' by 38p.
Oh dear, we'll have to have a ukrm protocol for 'sarcasm alert'.
