It a water plant flower that's fantastic in a potjie (witches cauldron style 3 legged cast iron pot which you put on the coals of a fire and bubble away for hours) with veg and meat......Never test the depth of the water with both feet
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

Scotland. Neeps and haggis.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Great idea for a thread VC.
For me:
India/Bangladesh - okra. Simply cannot got for an Indian meal without my bhindi bhaji.
(One of my novice curry pals thought I was well 'ard munching through a bowl of chopped up green "chillies". Didn't have the heart to tell him what they really were!!)
Tried twice to grow okra in my polytunnel - they chuck up the odd flower but I never get any fruit and all the leaves fall off! Not sure what I'm doing wrong, so will go back to the local Asian grocer insteadAre y'oroight booy?Comment

Australia - mangoes - mango smoothie, mango icecream with pistachio's and choc. Mangoes, just more mangoes - and a shower to wash yourself in afterwards.
Gambia - peanuts and banana in toffee, made on the side of the boat. Wish I coud make that myself, it was awesome.
France garlic. Italy pasta. USA burgers and collard greens, of which I've no idea. UK - bangers n mash! Wales leeks. Ireland potatoes - curried, roasted, boiled, just always potatoes with every meal.
India curies of course. Malaysia - anything eaten off 1/2 banana leaf for a plate, and roasted corn on the roadsides.Last edited by Feral007; 01-08-2013, 02:45 AM.Ali

Some days it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints!
One bit of old folklore wisdom says to plant tomatoes when the soil is warm enough to sit on with bare buttocks. In surburban areas, use the back of your wrist. Jackie French
