Nick, to view it from another angle, I understand that their experiments
have demonstrated that strong vinegar is surprisingly effective as a
defoliant.
Good on chips too.
Far better raspberry flavoured or balsamic, with a splash of good
quality extra virgin olive oil, over mixed young leaves freshly picked
from the garden.
And don't dress too soon before serving, as vinegar is highly
efficient as a systemic leaf-wilter.
Always eat chips with mayonnaise in a state undress to avoid wilting.
Is this where the merkin gets handy?
I could not help it, your honour.
Don't let them pull the wool over our eyes.
Your EYES?!
