As for Prester John I ran across his name while doing research at St. Lazzaro / Sourp Ghazar Monastery near Venice....many years ago. Didn't have the time to do much more reading on him there, but I remember thinking it was a pretty fantastical tale worth checking out at some point in the future. Well...have to admit I pretty much forgot about him until Worth emailed me about him. And there is quite a bit on the internet should you choose to look him up. Shades of the Tales of Arabian Nights...almost. LOL
So Worth's response to my list / quantity of herbs and spices was written in the same vein as the "letter" written by Prester John....and definitely worth a chuckle or two...at least for me. |

The Arabian Nights Entertainments is the only E book I have on my phone.
It is the direct translation not the kids story.
The original title is one thousand and one nights.
Part of it is about how a new bride is telling these stories to postpone her beheading before she is accused of infidelity.
Well here is the link.

What does this have to do with Fennel.
I have no idea and I'm sorry.
Oh yes spices.
