RE: Re: [CHAT vinca/dandelions

Dandelion wine is delicious.  If you pluck the yellow from the green of the 
dandelion, you will notice a sweet aroma...makes you understand why bees, 
etc., gather to dandelion and how you could make wine of such.  The British 
make wine of everything...years ago found a little British book of wine 
making...recipes included limp root vegetables and used tea leaves...maybe 
that is why no one mentions British wine as top.
