Viv,that is exactly what I found. There was milky liquid in there. Now i just need somebody to eat it first.
HemaShah
I will try to see if there is a milky liquid in it:)

If I remember rightly, when you break a leaf it has a milky liquid inside. : ) Could try that first
HemaShah
Unless somebody who has eaten it offers it to me. DO not feel very brave otherwise. Would like to try it though!
VivBraznell
Have you tried a leaf. It is edible .............. bitter but edible : ( Not my 'cuppa tea'
HemaShah
That is what I am thinking too!
