Thanks Mark - glad you found it useful! Shame the north's too cold for lab lab - give it 20 years and it will be no problem! Electric daisy - I was very circumspect when tasting it ! I tried about a quarter of a flower - a zingy sensation on my tongue first, but it kicked off a flow of saliva which I wasn't expecting and then numbness. Some people describe it as electrocution so I wasnt going to risk a whole flower...
Wonderful post - I don't get to visit nearly as many kitchen gardens as I'd like to, so really appreciate your insights. I have similar feelings about achocha, although we quite enjoy eating it in moderation - raw in salsas and cooked in stir fries (easy to have too much of it though). I think its too cold here in Newcastle for lablab beans, I suspect even in a polytunnel ?, but I do want to taste an electric daisy one day. It's one I think James Wong was promoting at one point. Thank you for this.
