Herbs de Provence is the classic French herb blend.
Also known as Provencal herbs, this delightful mixture takes its name from the region of Provence, France. The people of Provence have an abundance of fresh herbs growing in their backyards, and understand the subtleties that the flavor of these herbs lend to the wonderful fresh vegetables and fish available to them. A very unusual ingredient must be included to make this really worthy of Provence: lavender from the same region. This salt-free, country-style blend really adds something to any dish -- beef or rabbit stew, roast lamb, chicken, pork, soups and stocks, vegetable dishes (especially eggplant or zucchini), tomatoes. Hand mixed from: rosemary, French thyme, tarragon, basil, savory, cracked fennel, lavender and marjoram.
Anybody who doesn't think the best hamburger place in the world is in his home town is a sissy.
