[Sca-cooks] "Garnished Parsley"

[Terry Decker]

Try the term "bouquet garni" (garnished bouquet).  In your case, a bouquet 
garni made of parsley.  As to curly or flat leaf, no way to tell unless 
specified.  John Gerard grew both varieties, so time and location can't be 
used to isolate the variety used.

Greetings! I am trying to pin down what "garnished parsley" actually
means. Strictly speaking, the term that came up was "a faggot of
garnished parsley". So, "faggot" is a "bunch". I've been guessing that
"garnished parsley" would refer to the type of parsley used for a
garnish. The recipe(s) that use this term are from the 1800s, possibly
late 1700s. Would you surmise that the type of parsley referred to would
be curly parsley or flat-leaf (Italian) parsley? Thanks!
