Jennifer, thanks for that.

What sort of bile? Humourous, yellow and black? Pliny recommends rue

Modern bile which makes liver taste disgusting? Consult your pharmacist (or butcher)

Colloquial bile? Take a very large brandy

Did anything come of your earlier suggestion about a Languedoc seminar?. I think it would be a great idea. My daughter is very enthusiastic about hosting one in the Corbieres but she hasn't the remotest idea of how to go about it. Obviously I would help her if sufficient people were interested (on condition that she doesn't force us to eat vegetarian food) My ex-wife's 500 acres is a botanists paradise and definitely to be recommended. Meanwhile Marisa Cohen who organises seminars for the Assisi nature council is trying to put together a tour of Provencal gardens next June

Wonderful stuff ! Thank you for going to the trouble to share your experiences. I used to grow Datura outside my kitchen in France which amused friends in the know. Never actually made use of it.
How about something for bile?
Jennifer
