        Chenopodia .. That rings a bell from me looking it up last year ...

        Chenopodium album - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
        Quinoa, a closely related species, is grown specifically for its seeds.

        Leaves used in curry? Well I might not quite have enough to make a big pan full left but its everywhere!

          The one on the left is fat hen, I've learnt this only recently. Its quite tasty too, a bit like spinach, my chooks turned their noses up at it so I ate it instead.
          I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.

              I love the way that names for plants cross over the language boundaries. So this Chenopodium Album is derived from the Greek for Goose and Podia (foot) to give you Fat hen's other common name Goosefoot - and that, of course, refers to the shape of its leaf.. And since Album is White - its a white goose foot
              The plants in the family of Chenopodiacae ?sp like beets and spinach have leaves shaped like Geese's Feet. Remember that next time you pick some spinach
