That's exciting for your mam, Amphibian. Is she from Bangladesh originally? Otherwise I can't imagine a mum moving so far! (I'm thinking of my mum who doesn't like to travel more than half an hour in any direction  :) )

I've got colleagues who work in Dhaka regularly. I could ask them as well. Not that they will necessarily bump into many packets of seed in the middle of Dhaka!

What about growing from seeds from  veggies, we have an oriental supermarket that is packed with fresh produce, I often think of getting stuff to grow XX Jeannine

Yes, my Mam, is moving to Bangladesh to live. I'm used to it, it's what she does. In recent years she has lived in Thailand, China, Italy and from next week Bangladesh

Yes are you going to try that, Jeannine? The thing is don't we tend to eat stuff before it's ripe enough? I think dudhi/bottle gourds and bitter gourds are both eaten while immature.

But people save seed from shop-bought tomatoes, don;t they?

I grew a lemon plant from a pip. Mind you, 10 years later it's still about 20cm tall...

the Pakistani guy who worked with me used to hate bitter gourd curry. He'd come into work looking extremely miserable after it, and he knew he was having the same thing heated up next day  :D
His mum used to make it a lot, as it's supposed to be good for diabetics, which his dad was.

I will go through my stash of gourds and bitter s tonight and post what I have spare..I think it was in the post from a few weeks ago but can't remember how mnay were left.

I am off to buy lobster today from the Oriental supermarket called T&T so I will look at what is in the produce dept, they sell all sorts of stuff, not only Oriental

Off-topic is good - a good conversation must be allowed freedom to roam!

mam is northern sometimes as well. My mum is from Lancashire and she says it and my sister lives in the the North East her kids call her mam as well. Cute innit?
