"This one's really interesting, Leonardo," remarked Truffles. "It says pot pourri was first docu­mented in the mid-18th century but has a far longer history. Early pot pourri was made with scent­ed flowers, herbs and spices. Roses were often the star of the show with their sooth­ing and calm­ing scent." "I was just learning over there that many shop-bought roses have been geneti­cally modi­fied to have their scent gene removed and are often sprayed with pesti­cides. So, as always, home-grown and home-made is best!" responded Leonardo.

Hermione and Truffles were captivated by the next immersion, to explore the spice and flower markets of Morocco in North Africa. 'Is there any name more romantic than Marrakech?' ran the narrative. 'Located 200 miles north-west of Morocco's coastal capital, Rabat, on a journey that takes you via Casa­blanca, then further inland, Marrakech is famous for its spice markets. Picture the caravans of camels of a thousand years ago, trekk­ing from the Sahara Desert bearing merch­ants eager to sell gold and salt. Now a top tourist attract­ion, many visitors enjoy explori­ng the centuries-old wind­ing alley­ways, watch­ing street enter­tainment and haggling with vendors for an array of hand-made goods, ranging from Berber carpets to spices and rose petals.'

"Did you see that recipe for Persian stuffed dumpling squash with rose petals?" queried Truffles. "Yes, indeed!" responded Buzzz. "It said Middle Eastern cuisine uses rose­water and rose petals in a variety of dishes, and rose petals and rose hips are popular with home cooks and profession­al chefs alike. Whilst the nutrition­al bene­fits of rose petals are negligible, beyond some Vitamin C, they do add bene­fits beyond their nutritive value." "Do you remember in Turkey a couple of years ago we found that lokum was made with rose­water?" reminisced Truffles." "Ah, you mean Turkish Delight! And most delicious it was, too!" responded Buzzz.
Truffles has enjoyed sniffing fine scents, but it is time to go home. Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also enjoy this event!
