Topic: Does Sage Really Matter?

It is a classic tried and true line up, ��parsley, (sage), rosemary, and thyme. I can understand why young men might want to revert back to safe and sturdy recipes, like their Mother'��s. Sometimes as we grow older, our palates think they long for the insolence and vibrancy of a burn your mouth off sauce. We forget that peppers and cayenne can be added to the classic line up. Any mature palate knows this. So it'��s the sage old question, isn'��t it? I think you can make your sauce however you want to, as long as everyone eating agrees.

The cook book that I bought at Scarborough Fair says nothing about Mother's recipes, but it does say that the sauce is for the gander as well as the goose.

Maybe, when my fever breaks, I'll know what the hell this is about.

I don't have a fever and I still can't figure it out....oh wait, is this about the sauce they fed you before they put you in the rubber-walled room???

Sage is important, on many levels... though, last year I forgot to add it to the aromatics, and though the bird was tasty, it wasn't quite "right". This year, I didn't forget and there was a humble balance and culinary harmony in the robust flavors to be savored.

Had a young bird last year. Just smacked on some salty butter. Now that's a metaphor.
