鄰居給了我自栽的無農藥包菜和銀芋,拔了一片包菜葉放進嘴裡,口中傳來的滋味立刻令人知道這就是包菜的味道。那滋味清甜,厚實香脆,而且帶著濃郁的包菜獨有味。厚脆的葉片吃下去很實在,密布的味蕾立刻感應到這濃郁的味道就是包菜的味道,人對真食物的味蕾感觸是與生俱來的,不需要人教。

吃過高原一個有機園的有機包菜,甜味一流,多汁且脆,但缺了包菜的味道和厚實感;市場上的有些包菜更糟,無甜味、無口感,只有在肚子很餓時吃它才會很實在地覺得它的存在。

銀芋,味甜,枝莖清脆。相信很少人吃過及聽過銀芋,銀芋的葉子很類似薯類(芋頭)芋葉和街邊潮濕地帶的野生芋類葉,在行人才能看得出分別。所以,不要隨意亂摘街邊的野芋葉來吃,因為野芋體內含絞汁,有些甚至帶毒性,吃後會令人舌頭發癢。這道蔬菜我暫時只在亞羅士打一家餐館kan

芋葉大過臉可當遮陽傘的芋葉,味甜而質脆

每種蔬菜都有自己獨特的味道,多數人都能吃得出大蒜、洋蔥、姜等味道較重及辛辣的食物,但味道較清淡的食物的味道則需要較細膩的味蕾去感受。不過,現代化大量化學物的栽種方式使種出來的蔬果失去本身的味道、忙綠緊迫的生活節奏,令人失去與生俱來對食物的品嚐天份。

有關食物的食評電影或真實的食評,足以讓人感動的食物首要條件是材料本身的真味道,再來是廚師的煮工及廚師對煮食的用心。

We are grateful to welcome 3 volunteer last Saturday, which 2 ladies, Veronica and Fanny, come from Sweden a guy, Binra,  from Thailand. Veronica and Fanny traveling around India, Indonesia and Malaysia before they going to enter University, they said, most of Swedish peoples travel before they go to university, to see the world, and to help them find theirself. Binra is a Philosophy students from Chulalongkorn University.

They are good helper in our farm as they help us to weed a lots and help in the routine of farm. We probably need 2 hour to clean a vege path full of weeds, but with their help, we do it 2 path in around 1.5 hours. Besides, they also help us clean the paper for recycle, clean the house etc. Some of the task, we just think to do it, but we’re lack of time and manpower, and they do some of it for us. They are quite good volunteer as they can work in the condition of maybe that not comfortable for the educated peoples. They works under the hot sun, bites by mosquito, lumpy soil etc, but i see they enjoying that and hopefully they’re enjoying it.

Having volunteer in our farm also give us change to know more about others country, their culture, their experience etc. We share a lots during their time in farm, foods, knowledges, experiences, languages etc. We have a great time knowing each others. Binra also helps us in communicate with our Burmese worker as our Burmese worker know Thai language and Binra become translator for us.

Veronica and Fanny left the farm yesterday and Binra will be going back to Bangkok next weeks. By the way, i hope they are enjoying the time in Grassroot farm and wish they could have a better life in the future.
