| The Mighty Leek |
Leeks are the national emblem of Wales. The Welsh pin a leek on their hats on March 1st (St. David's Day). Preserved leeks have been found in Egyptian tombs.
Most interesting fact about leeks - the Japanese believe that they're effective in curing colds - leeks are heated over an open flame, wrapped in gauze and actually placed around the neck to help treat colds. Now that's not something I'll be trying anytime soon.
