This is from my American version. Provence is absolutely famous for their
blend::

"Add to marinades for chicken, fish, lamb or beef. Use in omelettes. Add
to liquid when cooking rice. Adds delicious flavor to white sauces.
Delicious in cheese dishes and with shellfish. Sprinkle over baked
potatoes, tomatoes and onions for heightened flavor.

"Ingredients: Thyme, marjoram, rosemary, basil, fennel, sage, lavender."

Sounds good to me - you'll have a great time, no matter what. If you've
tackled oysters, then you're ready for snails. ;-D
