Alas, I can't see the last picture. All I remember was a bunch of brown fruits/vegetables/something another hanging on the end of a bunch of thin branches. It looked like Irish Potatoes (also known as new potatoes because they didn't grow up all the way yet) growing like they're chives, but instead of flowers on top, they're potatoes on top.

Kind of the problem that we live in such different parts of the world. You think a mango is everyday food. To me it's exotic. (I can buy them in the store, but first, what I buy isn't what you consider a mango, and second, I have no idea how to pick out a ripe one. Last year, you suggested I try mango for something soft for hubby to eat. I bought one. Hard as a rock. A week later, still as hard as a rock. Now it's compost. lol) You'd probably consider a cheesesteak is exotic. In my part of America, that's dinner 1-2 nights a week for many people. And yet, people a mere 200 miles from me in my own country don't know what a real cheesesteak is.

And then there are foods we both think are normal, but because the other person has no idea what it is to ask, we can't show it. (I'm still trying to figure out what I think is everyday that you might never have heard of. Do you know what chicory is? Got to be something we eat that you don't know yet. lol)

i have forgotten when and where i have posted that one before. Anyways, sorry, maybe a year older?, and a lot more forgetful...

There, chicory... I probably have heard that one in some nursery rhyme or somewhere else, but no idea what that is-- until i peeked online.

To me, it's a very pretty weed.

To my brother, it's free salad greens growing along the side of the road.

To others, it's a great substitute for coffee.

To the coffee drinkers in my life, that last group of people are nuts. lol

I've got lots of pretty yellow weeds in my grass at the moment.
They have all come up in the last 48 hours with the sun!

I like bee balm, because it lessens the itch of a mosquito bite, and lavender. Lavender is a great herb for pizza.

I've blown the seeds around my garden. Nothing!

I've dug them up and replanted. Nothing. (I suspect not getting the whole tap root ruins it.)
