Thu, 26 Aug 2010 11:51:28 -0500

It started with the Tansy cakes. I had to ask myself 'Why wouldanyone eat anything so utterly disgusting in taste'? Chrysanthemum Vulgare is a common perennial in the British Islesand the name Tansy is said to be derived from the Greek'athansia', meaning 'immortal'.
