Thisn particular one was a ground creeping variety so it had to go-shame because it smelt incredible. Miles Cid,

Couldn't do without thyme, basil, parsley, mind and coriander. I have them all fresh in pots at my back door and my son eats great big handfuls of them freshly plucked from the soil!!

Just goes to show that although they look hardy, they're not especially drought friendly. Love the smell of it and have used it in shortbread recipes sometimes. A friend of mine used to have a very small but exquisite garden full of pots of all kinds of thyme which she kept beautifully manicured and allowed them to drape softly over the sides. Simple but very effective. It's hugely antiseptic I think.... people make mouth wash with it so I believe. Cid Miles,

Good post on thyme and other herbs . . . Ancient spices from the dawn of Western cuisine. I share Anne's love of thyme roasted potatoes. I use thyme in a very non-gourmet way that I learned in grad school as well - as a flavoring for popcorn. Add it to popcorn with a little light soy sauce and black pepper and it is delicious - saves on the consumption of butter and salt too! L Za’atar to you too Miles!

I have to have a few plants as I use such a lot of them in my cooking. Finally chopped Rosemary and Thyme are superb when put into hot oil before adding potatoes for roasting. I love the smell of this when cooking. I have not thought of adding thyme in desserts which sounds quite intriquing. Anne Miles,
