A menu in Hanoi offered "prawns jumped to the ginger", which looks like an overly literal translation from the French. Much more intriguing - the invitingly named "Fried bowels in grease", and a mysterious "Net small appetite (150gm)".

Underhill, I've read every Agatha Christie book ! Coincidence ?
And while on the subject of unusual veggies, has anyone eaten a cardoon ? I know what it is (large leaved plant) but in all my travels, have yet to find a restaurant that serves them or a friend or relative that cooks them. Any ideas ?

If I remember correctly, le cardon is supposed to be a specialty from Geneva countryside area, as a friend of mine from there once told me. I believe having seen it sold in tin cans at the local shops too.
