Who buys dried parsley?

80's cooks.

Who buys dried parsley?

I buy a big tub if I am going to make parsley sauce to go with boiled bacon and cabbage.
I think it actually works better than fresh and it's a lot cheaper.

It's not bad, but fresh parsley (including stalks) is much better I think. I'm not snobby about it but have gotten into the habit of buying a bag of fresh parsley every week (for around €1.19) in Tesco and it lasts a few meals, or in the fridge for 10 days. I don't think it freezes well, in which case, dried is just fine.

Yeah it does not freeze well (unless apparently you chop and freeze in ice cubes which I cannot be arsed to do).
I won't use a whole bag and end up throwing it away.
I have made sauce with both dried and fresh and I find personally, that dried works better for me.

if you use dried, you'll need a lot less as they are dried, so concentrated.

I was seriously suffering with the temperature this summer and our oven is in our living room!

Barbieflette is the answer.

Barbieflette is the answer.

Huh?

 

[BoatieBird]

I'd forgotten all about tartiflette.
Must make it again soon

 

[idumea]

Tartiflette time.

I'm guessing parsley is really important with this dish, as with so much Italian and French cooking. It's so worth buying fresh parsley, a dish like this would seem unfinished without.

I have made this 3 times, and have never used parsley. IMO it doesn't need it.

 

[Orang Utan]

It does need bacon though

 

[Maggot]

Oh no it doesn't!

 

[BoatieBird]

It doesn't need parsley, it definitely needs bacon

 

[Maggot]

Ahem

It would probably be just fine without bacon. All that cheese and spud tastes lush anyway.

 

[Maggot]

DP

 

[Orang Utan]

Bacon though

 

[kittyP]

Bacon though

I think I used loads of panchetta

I'll take your word for it!

I do love a bit of tartiflette, but eating ski food off the slopes... Ugh. I could probably run off one portion for days. I have to admit it's a really nice recipe for something invented in the 1980s by a cheese marketing board.

 

[Maggot]

Got some Reblechon in, so gonna make one this evening.

 

[Maggot]

That was delicious. Similar to the previous one, but added some veggie sausage to the mushrooms and onions.

 

[Orang Utan]

Sacrilege!

Well for those of us who have never been skiing, we work with what we've got

 

[wayward bob]

Sausage? Mushrooms?

Last time I had friends round for tartiflette we dressed appropriately:

 

[doddles]

Huh?

Barbieflette: tartiflette cooked on a BBQ. No more hot kitchens in summer [emoji41]

 

[Maggot]

Brought back some bargain Reblechon from France. It's Tartiflette time!

 

[doddles]

I was thinking exactly the same thing last night. Think it will be tartiflette tonight

I don't see how you can cook it on a barbie, what about when you put it in the oven?
