| The leaves make a great tooth, gum and mouth cleaner. Just rub leaves along your teeth and gums, and you get a delicious fresh-breath, clean-teeth freshness that is just wonderful. Use sage quite sparingly in your cooking. Until you get used to it, it can be quite an overwhelming flavour, so just use less than the recipe calls for. Use it with meats (especially lamb and veal), stuffings, sausage, poultry, vegetables, cheese, eggs. Good in pork and rabbit dishes, or with root vegetables. I like it dipped in batter, fried and served as an accompaniment for meat and other veg. |
