        The mogs are a bit suspicious. The surans've probably got elephant wee on them.

              They must take quite some cooking? No wonder you planted them instead :heehee:

              Apparently they may make your hands itch whilst peeling and chopping them so you should oil your hands slightly to prevent this. But you're not going to chop them, are you? Oh no.
