Think I would rather grow spagetti, the plants are rare though because of
supply and demand I hear.


Nah! Spaghetti grows on trees, bit like Spanish Moss in the
Everglades; saw it on the telly, many years ago, early one April. ;-)


I saw that when I was a very young. We kids knew immediately that it
was a joke but it fooled our parents for a few minutes.

Whaddayamean it was a joke? I paid £15 each back then for 5 spaghetti
bushes and the chap down the pub said not to worry if they didn't crop
for many years. They are due to deliver some tasty pasta this summer
for the first time.
