Whatever next, banning growing daffodils in veg plots?

Selling daffy bulbs in spring? Spring planting daffs is a new one on me.

 

if you dont know the difference between a daffodil and and a vegetable, should you really be allowed out on your own?

 

I've just seen a report on the news. I shouldn't laugh really. There's a health and safety bloke talking about it on sky news as we speak.

 

Just lower down on the Huffington page is "Common Poisonous Foods "

1. Red Kidney beans
2. Nutmeg
3. Ackee ( ?)
4. Lima beans
5. Elderberry
6. Bitter Almonds ( How do you know ! )
7. Elderberry
8. Blow Fish ( not exactly a staple food in the Wigan area )

 

Is the question mark after ackee because you are unsure what it is?

Ackee is lovely. You need to find your local
Carribean place and get some ackee and saltfish. Its beautiful and is often eaten for breakfast

This is ackee



And this is ackee and saltfish the ackee is the yellow brain like looking stuff

 

Thanks Dips I'll keep my eye out for it ! You can only eat the yellow portion on a fully ripe fruit can't you ?

 

No idea harry. I have never prepared fresh ackee so never needed to know. I just get it in tins from tesco lol

 

I think tinned is the way to go
Now just need to find who sells poisonous blow fish
