The parsley plant consists of many sprigs (or stems) hence the term a sprig of parsley which means one of these sprigs.
A sprig is basicly one small branch off the main stem
marjoram = sweet marjoram = knot marjoram = knotted marjoram Pronunciation: MAR-jer-um Notes: Marjoram is sweeter and milder than its close relative, oregano. It's often used to season meats and fish, and works best when its added near the end of the cooking period. Fresh is best, but frozen or dried marjoram are acceptable substitutes. Don't confuse this with wild marjoram, which is better known as oregano. Equivalents: 1 tablespoon fresh = 1 teaspoon dried. Substitutes: oregano (This is very similar, but not as sweet and mild as marjoram. Substitute two parts of oregano for three parts of marjoram.) OR thyme OR sage OR basil OR summer savoryFrom this website: http://www.foodsubs.com/HerbsEur.htmlI have used oregano for marjoram as recommended by this site in the ratio specified and had good results. Good luck!
A sprig is a single stem snipped from the plant. It is composed of a woody stem with paired leaf or flower clusters ("leaves") spaced ½ to 1" apart.
A sprig usually applies to plants that have a main stem, plus offshoots that support clusters of leaves. Starting at the main stem, pluck off one offshoot that is perhaps 1-2" long (3-5cm). This would be a fine example of a sprig. Some will be slightly larger and some smaller. For the purposes of cooking, unfortunately, this is a vague measurement - you may have to try the recipe with a small sprig and add more if the flavour doesn't come through.
