Nick, to view it from another angle, I understand that their experiments

defoliant.


Good on chips too.

Do you get chips in Holland as in fish and chips? I actually would
like some nice greasy chips, wrapped in paper and running with
vinegar, yum.

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.
