Thyme?

I second thyme

I third thyme a third time

You two & three rhyming individuals

It is not thyme, but very similar. It's called "Segurelha ,"

Thyme in Portuguese is tomilho

I went in search and the name in English is savour !

I have cooked with it before but have yet to grow it

I also thought it was thyme but my aunt said ....no no no it's savour.

It has a very similar smell and taste but with a spicy note.

Savour !

have seen it but.. I forgot the name of the people met yesterday 😁

but not faces ! and the plant has no face

It happens the same to me. But, weirdly enough there are those rare ones I don't forget neither name nor face.

Thyme?

A good lawn replacement, as long as you get the right variety

Summer savory. Similar to thyme. But more peppery. And bit bitter. Winter savory has a broader lighter green leaf.

But this COULD also be thyme. When it flowers, savory will be whitish. Thyme usually a soft purple. Savory (to its name) can be used in place of salt.

Both descendants of mint! I Jane a far friend who grows herbs. She's taught me.

We use it in Madeira to do a traditional dish, "Açorda".

From a time where food was scared...

At Continent we have a variant , called Açorda à alentejana, but made with coriander.

I would have said Thyme, that dish looks amazing, I've just googled Açorda à alentejana and it describes a typical dish of stale bread and eggs.

A bit like the Spanish Migas.

What's the broth?

You just use hot water with salt. On a individual plate or a big one (for several people) you add hard bread, then a mix of olive oil temper with loads of garlic, and herbs. Then the raw egg. Add boiling hot water and let sit.

Nice 👌

When I use coriander, I grind the coriander with garlic a bit of salt and olive oil, using a mortar. It's a very simple, tasty soup.

I think I like the idea of Thyme better for this 💜

I will try with thyme also, never did. With coriander is great.
