Researching for a book about plants, I came across this, in Hansard, a @UKParliament debate in more innocent times. Maybe the world needs more maupygernon. Or maybe it doesn't. #RecipeOfTheDay #recipes #80trees @HansardSociety

Researching artichoke (Cynara cardunculus) today. *Lots* of modern references to Cynara in #GreekMythology being turned into a plant by Zeus. But, no proper sources, academically researched, or eg Horace? Grateful for pointers! #mythology #ancientgreece @guide2greekmyth
