In Eastern Europe sorrel is known as sour grass. It makes a delicious soup at Easter because sorrel is one of the first vegetables to appear in the spring garden. Sorrel is very easily grown as a perennial and each garden should have 5 or 6 plants, which will last for years and provide the family with plenty of sour grass for soups and sauces.
