What is your definition of summer savory?
Dave
According to Richter's (a reliable Canadian Herb source richters.com)
Savory (Satureja) is often used in bean dishes and chilled veggie drinks.
Summer Savory (s. hortensis) is the preferred savory having a delicate flavor
and is the easiest to grow. Winter Savory (s. montana) has a strong, pungent
flavor. There also is a nice Lemon Savory (s. biflora) from South Africa.
It has an intense lemon scent and flavor and is wonderful! It is very
different from other savories. It is really nice with chiles as the
lemon/chile combination works well on seafood.
