Not here. I kept in touch with him via email for a long time after
he dropped out of FIDO but I haven't heard from him in recent
months.

           Secondary Edible Parts of
           Vegetables

The culinary reputation of most vegetables is based primarily on the
edible qualities of one or sometimes two primary parts of the plant.
For home gardeners who grow and have the entire vegetable plant at
their disposal, other plant parts may be edible.

Although many of the secondary plant parts are edible, their
popularity as food items is diminished by lack of proper flavor or
unfavorable texture. For example, the leaves of practically all the
cabbage family are edible, but the strong flavors of some species
are disagreeable or too strong for most people's taste.

The edible leaves and stem tips of sweet potato vines are well known
in many parts of the world. Often considered a poor man's food,
sweet potato foliage has a rich protein content that helps
supplement the nutritional value of the roots.

Quite often, cooking is necessary to make the parts edible. Raw
leaves eaten fresh may even be slightly poisonous in some cases.
