I know a couple of NE Ohioans who say, "Grassy-ass" instead of gracias. And of course, "tort-illa" (like "godz-illa"). And they weren't joking around.

That was my MIL. If there was a way to get a foreign word wrong, she'd find it.

Your food always looks great, but the watermelon always looks spectacular!

Thank you mate, I must say I'm getting I don't get bored with the melon. Ice cold it's the best refresher when the temps are like they are. It was 26c at 22.00 last night.

I used to buy meadow hay and spoil them with Lucerne hay, I'd buy 200 small bales every season. Plus big bales for my mares.

For winter feed for my ponies I used to give them a lot of silage. I loved the smell.

Nah - that is 'Alpha'. Alfalfa is a legume mainly grown as animal feed. But the seeds can be sprouted just like any legume. Its also called lucerne.

Origin of the word (Oxford English Dictionary):
Mid 18th century from Spanish, from Arabic al-faṣfaṣa, a green fodder.

Thank you. My bad. It is so wonderful to learn. And it makes for great talk to pass on to my daughter.
I do tell her about food,discoveries around food, this and that from the forum.

From a classic American novel:

We’ll have a cow,’ said George. ‘An’ we’ll have maybe a pig an’ chickens…an’ down the flat we’ll have a…little piece alfalfa—’

'For the rabbits,’ Lennie shouted.

‘For the rabbits,’ George repeated.

‘And I get to tend the rabbits.’

‘An’ you get to tend the rabbits.’

Lennie giggled with happiness. “An’ live on the fatta the lan’.’"

Beautiful!
