R is for.....

Raisin
Redcurrant
Rose hip
Raspberry
Radish
Red cabbage
Rhubarb
Rosemary

Have I eaten any of these before?
Yeah... thinks so :) Do love me some raisins and raspberries :)

Hero of the day?
Rhubarb... well, maybe maybe my "nemesis" of the day... apparently "Don't eat the leaves!!!" Seems the leaves are concentrated with highly toxic oxalic acid . You shouldn't over do the stalk either... interesting yes? But thought it was time we had an "anti-hero".
