well, tom, i have seen it offered at shops in chinatown but never tried,
along with green gourd drink and other exotic fare. i have had the grass

to as the grass.

well, jim, if i knew how to grow it, i'd take some.
last year, i was in southern brazil and there was another pennywort species
growing by the roadsides, this one was starfish-shaped, more squarish, quite
interesting.
