Fines herbes is a very pleasant, delicate combination of French chervil, parsley, chives and French tarragon.
Its primary use is in egg dishes, but it is also good with lighter-flavored fish. In dishes you add parsley for color, this is an interesting variation -- you will get the same brightness with a subtly different flavor. Since the flavor is very light, like parsley, this blend won't overwhelm any dish.
Burgundy makes you think silly things; Bordeaux makes you talk about them; and Champagne makes you do them.
