A friend brought some out from UK for me and I keep it in a tub and water it lavishly. <BR/><BR/>I used to see it at a friend's garden bordering the River Avon at Bradford on Avon and was told it likes to be near water. She used to slap two leaves together, dip them in batter and fry. It had the texture and taste of fish, really delicious with a nice salsa. Also she tore the leaves up into a salad. <BR/><BR/>I've read that it's likely to be carcinogenic. Who knows, considering it's been used for hundreds of years. <BR/><BR/>What I notice here is that Gonzalo grows rows of artichokes and uses their leaves for enriching the soil . He offers us the fruits but we find them more trouble than they're worth.LadyLuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425624818859182752noreply@blogger.com
