All About Poppy Seeds cooking with herbs and spices

wonder if they could be addictive????

I read somewhere recently that someone was arrested recently and put in jail( without trail) in the far east when they had arrived at the airport and the drug sensors had picked up the poppy seeds on the guy's clothing after they had bought and eaten a seeded roll at the UK airport .
Intersting site Nicos! I think I'll see if I can find some opium poppy seeds to grow then. Good job I didn't just try any old poppy seeds!
