Amadeus Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Chef sorry for poison plant error Celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson has apologised after he recommended use of a poisonous plant in recipes. In a magazine interview about watercress and other wild foods, Mr Worrall Thompson said the weed henbane was "great in salads". Healthy & Organic Living magazine's website has now issued an urgent warning that "henbane is a very toxic plant and should never be eaten". The chef had meant to recommend fat hen, which is a wild herb. Mr Worrall Thompson, currently on holiday in Spain, told the BBC the mix-up was "embarrassing - but one of those genuine mistakes". Someone remind me to never eat at his place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
