I once had a fantastic dish of steamed mountain herbs in Crete when suffering a severe gastric attack. I was with my parents, ate the hers, watched them eat their dinner and at the end of it asked for the menu and was fine after that. Would you have any idea what these herbs could be? Gail T, Canberra
Hi there, thank you for your comment and post. I am not sure what herbs you had in Crete but it is likely they were some type of wild edible leafy green vegetable such as chickory? Can you descrtibe the greens a little more? Another popular one is danelion - they have distinctive thick succulent leaveds and are rather bitter. It wasn'r clear from your note whether you were sick after eating the herbs or whether you felt better after eating them? Cheers Catherine
