What are YOU complaining about, YOU don't have to put up with how 'dotty' SHE is!
OK, Parsley is green and comes either flat leafed or the other more crunched-up variety, right?
Well, yes, that is correct but in OUR house WE eat a rare vegetable called 'Hamburg Parsley' and WE are not eating leaves!
No, WE are eating a root and YOU could be forgiven for thinking it was a Parsnip, until YOU taste a little! Then YOU know it isn't a parsnip!
If YOU want to make and eat a Chicken Soup which is unlike anything YOU have ever tasted before, go immediately, if not sooner and find a Polish Shop which sells vegetables..
ps: There is no other 'nationality' shop that sells this vegetable in London
They sell the root in a bundle (so clever) of other vegetables which are classic ingredients of soup. A carrot or two, a head of garlic, a parsley root, a leek and an onion. They also sell them loose.
And then WE will slurp the best soup in town, lip smackin' stuff with 'Ingrid's' Dumplings. I will post her recipe another day, WE've yet to make tonight's visit to YumYum HQ. Quick quick, I must go!

SHE is fussy about food and travels all over this city to different suppliers for it, not HER a quick trip to an all-singing, all-dancing supermarket,
where the fruit has been gassed and waxed and the other produce that is God only knows how old!

Today, SHE had the idea of speaking to the very helpful young Pole who manages the local Polish food shop.
SHE asked "Why don't you sell Polish Seeds". He was struck dumb! SHE explained that there were thousands of people buying vegetable seeds in this city and he was missing out!
He nodded and said "You are right, I bought some
seeds back last winter for the vegetable garden
that I share with my aunt, what do you think we
should sell?"

SHE is pretty sure that it will grow like our own parsnip, takes a while and likes being in a deep, stone free bed. And now WE will be able to grow OUR own 'Hamburg Parsley' Roots for SHE has found it at an English Seed supplier.
'Tricky' to grow, like all parsley and very slow to germinate, it likes a bit of coddling, don't WE all?
