[RWebb]

Useful?

Reasonable substitute for fresh parsley?

[javadog]

No.

Not at all.

Can you smoke it?

[mreid]

None of the above.

[peppy]

Depends on what your using it for.

Soup, not bad

sprinkle on boiled potatoes, not bad

in a marinade, not bad

tabouli, no way

fresh is better, but dried has its place

...on the shelf in the grocery store, where it can rot in peace.

should it be outlawed?

if so, would that be outlawed for the entire US, or only in NYC?

Although dried Parsley is not a very good substitute for fresh, I make a real homemade chicken soup and without fresh available I use a lot of dry.
You can still taste it after it hydrates in the soup.

Dried parsley adds some green flecks but nothing else.

I paid $10 for a lid of dried parsley once. Once.

[jcommin]

Not a big fan of it either.

Buds = good
Loose = bad

Use five times as much in cole slaw. Can't over use.
Same with chicken salad(but add cherrys and toasted walnuts/pecans), soups, etc.

Soaks up water, prevents seperation, and it got vitimins.

Smoke hysops.

That's what I told my mom it was when she found my stash.

Parsley grows like a weed. No reason not to grow some in a pot for when you need it.

You forget to water your spice garden?

[fintstone]

I use it quite a bit.
