Docking stations
Continuing with my nettle theme we all know one of the common treatments for nettle-stings – a dock or docken leave, whose cooling juices soothed in principle the worst ravages of nettle-stings – but never seemed to eradicate the pain. Dock-leaves belong botanically to the rumex family. This also includes the common sorrel, often made into a pleasant soup on continental Europe, as well as forming a key ingredient in tart sauce served with salmon in Belturbet’s Rendez-vous restaurant.
