Someone will be along any minute to give you a recipe for duck
soupweed.

Oh, that would be a shame. I thought it might make a good salad
ingredient.

Try washing it and keeping it in fresh water for a few hours, then - er
- adding it to potato salad? Russian salad?


?


Coleslaw? Sandwich spread?


SANDWICH SPREAD?


Blimey!


Well, it may be pungent enough to mask the flavour of duck wee


There are no ducks in our pond. Or even on it. They don't fly over it
either.

But sandwich spread? Is it still made? Must be more than half a century
since I had it in sandwiches for club runs, didn't care for it much even
then.
