100 Vegetables
Got this book for Christmas. Interesting read, full of little snippets of info.
 100 Vegetables and where they came from. Wiliam Woys Weaver. ISBN:1565122380 100 Vegetables Where They Came From - there's some copies available from Amazon £2.50 (plus £2.75 p&p). Of course it means I now need to buy lots of seeds I'd never previously heard of!!!

I'll keep a look out momol, think I've seen them before, perhaps ebay - I'll just check the book too.
They're not my type of tom though bit too 'odd' looking! Have you tried ananas noire, think it was invented by someone out your way (well Belgium really!)? ps did you see my question for you on the Spices thread?

We've grown it for a couple of years - here's a seller on ebay in France. I bought my andine cornue & teton de venus (couldn't resist the silly name, but they're very tasty!) off this chap (he's in Provence) - very friendly.
tomate-ANANAS-NOIRE If you don't fancy buying any more I've got 9 seeds left and would split them with you if you like. Ah the spice question was a new one re camphor basil!

Don't have camphor basil...
but got some unique cross basil (with the help of some bees) which I crossed some 3 years ago ( italian genovese basil X Thai basil). She can take much cooler climate than Thai basil and produce very big leaves like Italian basil but still has similar Thai basil colour...Got no more space left Manda, next year project... Momol
