What is your definition of summer savory?

Dave

According to Richter's (a reliable Canadian Herb source richters.com)
Savory (Satureja) is often used in bean dishes and chilled veggie drinks.

Summer Savory (s. hortensis) is the preferred savory having a delicate flavor 
and is the easiest to grow.  Winter Savory (s. montana) has a strong, pungent 
flavor.  There also is a nice Lemon Savory (s. biflora) from South Africa.  
It has an intense lemon scent and flavor and is wonderful!  It is very 
different from other savories.  It is really nice with chiles as the 
lemon/chile combination works well on seafood.
