SC - Substitute for Lovage

[Glenda Robinson]

Hi All,

I've tried to get lovage, and have been unable to get it. Does anyone know
what other herb I can substitute without the recipes turning really nasty?

Thanks,

Glenda.

(And to answer my own question about the quail eggs - from what I found
somewhere obscure on the net, you can plunge them straight into boiling
water for 3 minutes - that's the only one I've found as yet. Hope it works,
as I scared up 2 doz. of them for a part of a Roman entree - I'll sacrifice
one as an experiment first!)
