For centuries, herbs were a staple of daily life. In England in 1699, John Evelyn wrote Acetaria: A Discourse of Sallets, which listed 73 salad herbs, giving details of the part of each herb used, whether seed, flower, bud, leaf, stalk or root, and how it was best prepared - raw, chopped, steamed, blanched or pickled. This broad usage continued for centuries, demonstrated by the fact that even 200 years ago the word vegetable was not commonly used - we spoke of "pot herbs" (for bulk in the cooking pot), "salet" (salad) herbs, "sweet" herbs (flavorings) and "simples" (medicinal herbs from which "compounds" were made).
