RE: Grocery Store Aroids

From: Lester Kallus <lkallus at earthlink.net> on 1997.12.12 at 14:43:17(1738) Julius, Thanks for all the tips. Actually, I'm going to start putting this list together now that you've given me all these names. As for shipping them to LI, thanks, but I don't think it'll be much of a problem. I should be able to find these tubers by looking in a few different local stores (now that I know what to look for). It's especially interesting to think that I can get antiquorum illustris tubers. Those plants weren't especially expensive, but at $1.95 a pound, I can afford enough to have an entire bed of them. +More Kris, Thanks for the references. I think we can do better, though. I envision a 3 column list now with nationality, food name and scientific name as the 3 columns. It could be published in three different pages, each page sorted by a different column. So with this in mind, I'll try to get to this list on Sunday when I have a day off with no immediate responsibilities looming overhead. Once the list is up, I'll ask folks to look in and make some recommendations for updating. Les
