hi russ:

> pigface (Carpobrotus spp: edible part the swollen
> base of the flower and the triangular leaf - not good eating

tastes differ. the year i spent in oz i was always happy to get to the coast
for the carpobrotus tucker - i love this sweetish-salty taste. (since this
was on the south coast of west australia it might have been a different
species). so rather than discrediting a species with the apparently
objective statement "IT is no good eating" i would recomment to resort to an
obviously subjective one, like "I dont like it". tastes are as different as
people and their changing (nutritional) needs.


keep growing...
