@kennyroy is currently growing some. I think a lot of the South Americans have recipes - just generalising, of course.
I didn't realise but apparently they used to be pretty big in backyards in Melbourne! Somehow we've forgotton them - maybe as they were simply boiled like your Mum did it - ew!!! Anyway, I have TWO vines growing, only small, but who knows - maybe i'll have a crop before I leave? I hope so, as I was really excited to be gifted one!
You are gifted... ^_^
Where are you going? Are you moving?
