[AT] OT Redbud/asparagus

[charlie hill]

Somebody sure eats it.  They have hundreds of acres of flooded fields of 
tarrow root over there.  That is the stuff they make it from.
If they have good sense they don't eat it but they sure do sing about it.

On second thought maybe they grow it, make it into slop for tourists then 
scrape it off the plates and feed it to the hogs.

I was talking to a local when we were in Hawaii and he told me "That stuff 
is for tourists.  Nobody eats it any more!"
