It also makes me wonder what France is like to live in, as they are apparently very popular there...
 
Add a whole head of garlic to the soup. Taste is great

Smoke a few Gitanes and your house will smell like the Paris metro ;D

Saw a good tip the other day. When planting your JAs line the trench with weed control fabric. If you ever need to move them, the whole lot is contained within the liner.

And the wind issue doesn't affect everyone, but when it does......

I too was very apprehensive the first time I cooked some having read the horror stories on here, but we have only ever had slight side effects, and none at all with the soup.

This came up last year ...

On the wind issue (pun intended), if you have a problem don't forget to try adding asafoetida to your recipe - available from most indian supermakets.

Or in our spice cupboard!!

Did them today with Lemon Sauce. Great - even though I say it myself. And NO after effects. Maybe the new, longer varieties are different?
