Interesting about the tarragon - can't tell the difference as both are Russian. I bought my seeds years ago & it doesn't say exactly what tarragon type it was meant to be. DOH!!!

I had often wondered what nationality the dried stuff is that i've been coping with for years. If you consider the horse-meat scandal and other stuff I learnt over the years that turned me into a cynic then you'll possibly accept that even if it says, "Dried-French-Tarragon" on the container it's likely to contain some Russian.

I just looked in my herbs and spice drawer, I did have some dried tarragon from M&S but it's gone, the remaining one if from another popular supermarket dried herb-source. I haven't used it for some reason, it only says Tarragon on the jar.

No nationality mentioned.
