Don't eat broad beans!

Wed, 04/09/2008 - 09:03
On a lighter note I thought I'd add a message that I've now had a seizure after eating half a broad bean.

I actually said to my wife didn't like them but she said you'll have to try one you might now like the taste you haven't had one for ages and so I did.  After eating just a half of one of these awful vegetables, a full blown general seizure came on.  I can now say she has never offered me one again!

Just as a thought I wondered whether any one else has ever had this effect :-)

Steve.
