So on to the Spice Festival at Kew. There were lots of vignettes all over the grounds and so you saw a lot of the gardens and learned about different spices.
My favorite part was finding out whether I was a supertaster or not. Just by putting a piece of special paper on your tongue, you could find out if you were a supertaster, a taster or a non-taster. Because my paper just tasted like paper, I am a non-taster. So I wondered with my GERD, and if I can't have chili or spicy food, what spice should I be eating and the speaker's response was ginger and horseradish! Both of which I can tolerate! And after this visit to Kew, I think I will always go to Kew on my England vacations because there is just so much to see and enjoy. I also want to have a cream tea at the Kew Greenhouse. Always up for scones and tea!
We finally have bright sunshine and warm temperatures in the herb garden today! Even warmer tomorrow! Hope you are having a great day wherever you may be! Talk to you tomorrow!

Fascinating! I learned so much from this post...now it makes more sense about peoples likes/dislikes of different foods.
I just have to say that the places you are taking me/us via this blog are so enlightening. I am having a great time on this trip! I laughed when you said that you took the "tube"....well, of course that is what they call it--but the first thought that popped into my head was a cardboard paper towel tube... I'm not making fun of it at all, it just made me chuckle! Thanks for the great post! :)

Thanks for stopping by and your comment, Bev! Funny how I just think in British English sometime and especially when I am across the pond! Coming to the end of my England posts. So stay tuned! xo
