You sound like someone who's never eaten too many damsons :-) Kaolin and morphine is better. Eating less damsons is the perfect solution. Eh? How many is too many? Unless you are the sort of person who rarely eats much fruit, it is quite hard to eat enough ripe fruit to give yourself any significant trouble. Minor diarrhoea isn't more than mildly annoying. Even eating too much pawpaw isn't bad enough to justify taking noxious medicines - and pawpaw is a lot more laxative than any form of plum. I find rhubarb so nasty that I am not tempted to eat any of it, let alone too much, but my wife has never had serious problems even from overindulging in that. I find damsons are the worst, followed by greengages. Ornery plums are fine, and I eat more fruit than all but two people I know, one of which is virtually a fruit'n'veggie, and the other is my mate Albert. I live on pawpaw (with lime), probably have four big ones a week. I didn't know it was a laxative. |

But then again, my kids and I can't eat melons, precisely for the same reasons. However, I know lots of people who can eat tons of the stuff without problems. |

We have the biggest Waitrose in the universe right next door, their fruit is better than T*S@O and most other supermarkets. Now that's lucky. I haven't been to Waitrose a lot, perhaps 3 times in my life time, which is silly because I trully enjoyed it. I beleive they have really fresh stuff and more to the point encourages to buy locally. Nice one. |

"johngood_____" wrote in message ... Many Thanks. here is the web url. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6baazno Blackthorn or sloes! Sloe Gin (do it now, decant and use at Christmas) (Sloe Gin is preferable to a quick half!) 3 lb of sloes 2 lb of sugar 1 bottle of dry gin (Not a dry bottle of gin!) But into traditional wine-making bottle (forgotten the name) but prick all the sloes with a fork which is a bit tedious. Pick up the jar and slosh it around once per week. Come xmas, and you'll have an orangey-red delight. |
