I have three plants in pots, and it tastes interesting, but I can't
find a recipe!

I know they existed, but all I have found is in
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.

Thanks, but those are Salicornia! The link David posted shows the
plant I am talking about. Rock samphire is less crisp, watery and
salty, and MUCH more strongly flavoured. Actually, mine isn't salty
at all, but probably would be if I salted the soil it is in.

oops sorry, wasn't paying attention; that was the one I've eaten in
East Anglia ( very so-what ish iirc).
