My grandmother used to harvest it from the front lawn and fry it up with egg, olive oil, and parmagiana (Parmesan cheese).

This, in turn, could one day help scientists to develop better ways of helping people to re-learn languages after a stroke or similar damage to the brain. Dr Sophie Scott and colleagues at the Wellcome Trust carried out brain scans on a group of Mandarin and English speakers. They found that the left temporal lobe, which is located by the left...
