At least young Brits know where their food comes from.

I was eating spaghetti at a friend's house only to have his friend be absolutely horrified when I grabbed some basil leaves off of a nearby plant and shredded them on top of my food.

Apparently, basil is grown in bottles in the US....

:lol::lol:

Maybe he was horrified at your savaging the plant without asking...or he was horrified at the act of "grabbing" leaves off of a living entity itself....

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

This isn't a U.S. thing - we use fresh herbs all the time. I think the guy was just weird!

I couldn't eat eggs for years. In Grade 5 we incubated a bunch of them for science and every week we'd crack one open to see the insides and how they were developing. My Dad fixed eggs one night for dinner and wouldn't let me leave the table until I'd finished them, even though I cried and pleaded. (Me eating the eggs ---> ) It still niggles at the back of my mind, so I'm pretty squeamish about them.... even though I will eat them in some formats now, but only on my non-squeamish days.

I know people here (in the US) who grow herbs - me included. However, if I was at a friend's house I would ask permission first and, if it was an outside plant, wash the leaves first too. :D

It was an indoor plant and I did ask permission. His comment to the room in general was "OMIGOD! She's eating LEAVES!" 'It's basil,' said I. "It's LEAVES!" 'BASIL!' "LEAVES!!!"

Like I said, apparently basil is grown in bottles in this country....

:lol: I'm sure I will cause a lot of controversy with my ways too, if you want to pick and eat leaves then go for it girl. :)
