When people put herbs in scrambled eggs, which ones do they use?

...sage, savory & chervil.

Sometimes I add basil or cilantro.

And, though it's not an herb, I usually have a fair amount of garlic in my eggs.

Chervil? I don't think I've ever HEARD of chervil! Interesting. I wish I could go to the store and open all the caps of things to smell them so I knew which ones I wanted to buy. :-)

Lemme take you to Penzey's some time. You can do that there.

What you said. I am *so* happy they opened a store in Palo Alto Menlo Park!

I'll vouch for the power of the Sunny Paris. [livejournal.com profile] hitchhiker recommended it to me, and I tried it and -- wow! Especially on eggs, on all sorts of dishes, the stuff is spectacular! I'm a (nearly) noncook and when I add Sunny Paris my simple stuff is quite a bit yummier! I can't recommend the stuff highly enough now. :)

Sunny Paris (http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeyssunnyparis.html) is "Hand-mixed from: shallots, chives, green peppercorns, dill weed, basil, tarragon, chervil and bay leaf."

You can GO to Penzey's? It's a place you can GO TO? That is stunningly awesome.

The last place I could smell spices before purchase was an Egyptian souq. Wonderful, but (considering the commute) a bit beyond my budget.

Indeed. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Penzey%27s&sll=37.399338,-122.090914&sspn=0.012734,0.019312&ie=UTF8&ll=37.4473,-122.174535&spn=0.025451,0.038624&z=15)
