Mohrenkopf und Bohnenkraut

[txzuckerbaeckerin]

Hi, I miss Dickmann's Mohrenkoepfe most in the "plastic-food' department! And I know, where to get them, now, so we are better!
the other thing is Bohnenkraut; I'm still trying to find seeds for that, so we can grow it in our own yard. Oh, and the traditional german Broetchen, so You slice one open, put a Mohrenkopf inside and have a Matschbroetchen, still a favorite from 25 years ago, when I had that as school-lunch!!!(my Mom hated it!!)

Bohnenkraut is Satureja hortensis or summer savory. I googled it and found Summer Savory Seeds There are many other sources as far as I could see
I know Matschbroetchen from my school days, too but like your mother I hated them

Finally, have lived without it for 1 year now ...nothing beats

That is funny! I have been born in Duisburg -Homburg but did not move quite as far as you did

You might also try at a local garden nursery - often they sell herbs already started for you, so that all you would need to do is replant or regularly clip and dry the leaves.

I think you can also buy the bottled dried Bohnenkraut from German deli (www.germandeli.com) - if they don't cary it, they probably can get it. They have so much stuff.

Summer savory is used in French cooking too--it is hard to find, but I have had luck getting it at the organic farm market in plant form.

I wonder if Penzey's sells it?

This is the same as the herb summer savory.
