Where's The Beef?!
I read about an interesting plant, toona sinensis. In China it's young leaves are used as a vegetable. Not many tree leaves can be eaten.
Interesting plant, so I decide to grow them in my garden. Interesting, to many the leaves taste like beef. That’s why some call the plant beef plant.
To me, toona sinensis has a nice flavor, but it does not make me think of beef.
Anyway, I made a roast beef sandwich with toona sinensis.
