Yum love it..all I have ever added is onions spring are nice or red..parsley guess really you can add anything you like yourself but for more instense flavours I leave that to what I am serving it with, like my homemade chow chow..etc..hope this helps Maybe a bit of brown sugar in the boil up not over kill just a wee sweeten.. even fresh bay leaf in boiling water..fresh herbs better than dried..I could post you a couple if you want?Fresh bay that is :) Anne

I actually brought it on Tm and brought 3 posted at same price as one gave 2 away as gifts it wasn't much and I have brought many live plants on TM as well as hundreds of seeds some sellers seeds seem better than others..My bay tree is a treasure sorry I can't remeber who it was from but feel sure it was a NI seller..When I lived in AU use to plants online of the other site and they all travelled fine to me while I was there as well. Hope that helpsAnne

Hi Annie1955 this is the weekend I am going to attempt the brawn, I have had to order the trotters from the butcher and a 2 week wait, offal is not any easy thing to buy any more, love the idea of veal cheeks I will persue that further with my butcher.....
