“ Lavender was a favourite flavouring in the cooking of Tudor and Elizabethan England, used as a relish to be served with game, roasted meats, with fruit salads, sprinkled over sweet dishes, or as a sweetmeat in its own right, ” says Judyth McLeod in her book Lavender, Sweet Lavender.
„ Lavendel oli Tudorite ajal inglaste lemmikmaitseaine, seda söödi koos jahiloomaliha ja praetud lihaga, pandi puuviljasalatitesse, raputati magustoitudele ning sellest valmistati kommi, ” kirjutab Judyth McLeod oma raamatus „Lavender, Sweet Lavender ”.
