Yes Caraway seeds. Also add them to vegetable stews and bean
recipes. Did you know that besides making you fart, artichokes
have diuretic properties. The more of them you eat, the more time
you'll spend in the loo spending a penny. Carol didn't mention that
did she!

Well all in all I think I'll give them a miss. But it was good to hear
vintage Genesis and ELP in a gardening programme!
