(except for Derryn Hinch and Joh - they're yours, you're welcome - we're still undecided about Russell Crowe).<br /><br />Yesterday was the first time I've eaten Warrigal Greens and only did so confidently because my s-i-l picked them as a weed from her vegie patch.Fresh Localhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576485778694307929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301770038605403899.post-60842013801318128382011-05-10T01:05:00.185+10:002011-05-10T01:05:00.185+10:00mmm those chinese gold miners may have a hand in s...mmm those chinese gold miners may have a hand in some miso and noodles ...<br />warrigal greens have intrigued me for quite a while now. Tim Lowe quotes them in his bush food books and of course they are called NZ spinache as well. It thrives on salt windy coasts in West Australia and has long been considered a native. But the logs of Lockyer, when founding the first colonies here, mention that he carried the seeds of NZ spinache.<br />I love the stuff. It grows nuts in our shitty soil and is wonderful steamed with fish and lemongrass.sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.com
