Gee, Gary,   Thats a bummer!  just try anything that looks green in your local environs, Lets not let colour prevent the reinvention of this culiniary delight. I have it on good authority that any and all forms of local vegetation were acceptable alternatives to the parsley in this recipe.

According to the local Historical Society, this recipe was hatched back in the 60''s,  at the inaugural gathering  of the  Mastercooks of the Order of the Dutch Oven. According to their Constitution, tabled at that time, it was agreed that any suitable alternative seasonings could be used. While researching the recipe at this historical site with some of the original members of the Order, they told me that the gathering back in the 60's was the forerunner for the world wide phenonomon known simply today as  MASTERCHEF.  

So, for all you would be members of the MODO, the bar is raised rather high!!!

lol

cheers
