Usages

The aniseed-flavoured leaves with flat or rarely crisped segments especially popular in France, Belgium and Great Britain for seasoning, salad, in fines-herbes (with parsley and chives) for omelettes etc. Former officinal plant (leaves, fruits) and used for spring soups e.g. in Germany. Wild distribution: Grown as a spice in the Roman empire, since the Middle Ages in W and Central Europe and now elsewhere from the Americas to Northern Africa and SE Asia to New Zealand. Occasionally escaped from cultivation.

Umbelliferae. CHERVIL. Europe, Orient and north Asia. This is an old fashioned pot-herb, an annual, which appears in garden catalogs. Chervil is said to be a native of Europe and was cultivated in England by Gerarde [1] in 1597. Parkinson [2] says "it is sown in gardens to serve as salad herb." Pliny [3] mentions its use by the Syrians, who cultivated it as a food, and ate it both boiled and raw. Booth [4] says the French and Dutch have scarcely a soup or a salad in which chervil does not form a part and as a seasoner is by many preferred to parsley. It seems still to find occasional use in England, Chervil was cultivated in Brazil in 1647 [5] but there are no references to its early use in America. The earlier writers on American gardening mention it, however, from McMahon [6] in 1806. The leaves, when young, are the parts used to impart a warm, aromatic flavor to soups, stews and salads. Gerarde [7] speaks of the roots as being edible. There are curled-leaved varieties.
