Funny ideas in the kitchen

Just watching Mary Berry who has popped up after a long absense and is , as we speak making  a traybake with the comedian Tichmarsh. Anyway--She wants to ban dried herbs---ER, Its a bit like saying lets ban bacon! We have been drying herbs for hundreds of years and its the only way to keep herbs over winter and into the spring , remember , dried herbs posess more pungency than fresh herbs gram for gram . and are easy to store too--try infusions in olive oil , lovely! OK use fresh when you can and where apropriate but DONT forget to dry your herbs to keep you going over winter Mary . Dont forget that the mint you put in the icing will discolour and go grey and look like someone knocked their pipe out in the tray.
