I have three plants in pots, and it tastes interesting, but I can't

Sanders "Leaves used for pickling." Any pointers?

Yes, I can just use it, but I should be interested to know what it
was favoured for, in the days when it was a highly-valued crop.

Stupid of me. I tried a different search and found some, though a
large proportion of the links were clearly confusing it with The
Other One, and most seemed to be modern and Mediterranean. Not
that I object to that, but I still can't find how it was eaten in
the UK (except pickled).
