Garlic and leeks, too, have found their way into every plot and pot. Rosemary and oregano are rarely grown and used considerably less than in their native Mediterranean homes . Tea sandwiches are flavored by balancing the pungent taste of freshly picked sorrel and watercress against the light flavor of cucumbers. The garden is also bounded by hedgerows thick with berries. Raspberries, currants, blackberries, juniper berries, cranberries, and elderberries are everywhere, even along the roadsides, and wild strawberries too can often be found nearby.
Apples are another fruit with high visibility.
Cider, both hard and soft, lies at the base of many recipes sweet and savory. Grapes don't grow well in Great Britain, and wine has always been imported.
