Re: Purslane

Hi, Godi. Ms. Fatma's father was the spokesperson for the Turkish embassy in WDC for many years. He called purslane "land cress" and regularly foraged for it in Washington's vacant lots.

Jim,
I read the article and was reminded of snatching some from a gravel area in front of an Asian restaurant, where we had just eaten. I had read how healthful purslane is. It grew one season and disappeared never to return again. I wonder where I can get some.(Here I'm looking for a weed!)

Barbara Damrosch's column today is about purslane. If your not eating this invasive weed, shame on you.
