I have fond memories of visiting a mulberry tree with ripe fruit in my
wanderings home from school as a pre-teen.  I often wondered why they
were not more popular, because they were certainly good to eat.  Then
some years ago, my son had an apartment near his college that had a
mulberry tree in front as a street tree.  What I had forgotten, or
probably never noticed, was what a mess the dropped fruit caused on
everything.  Order of magnitude worse than the dropped crabapples in my
front yard from that tree.

      Title: Angel's Evil Jungle Prince With Chicken
 Categories: Thai, Chicken
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      3 tb Peanut oil
      4 oz Canned green curry paste  (I
           -like Maesri)
      1 c  Sliced shallots
      2 tb Minced ginger
      2 tb Minced garlic
      4    Boneless skinless chicken
           -breasts, cut in 1" cubes
      1 c  Sliced red onion
      1 c  Chicken broth
     14 oz Can coconut milk (Chao Koh
           -brand)
      2    Kaffir lime leaves (fresh,
           -course)
      2 tb Palm sugar (or a little
           -more)
      1 lg Stalk of fresh lemon grass,
           -thinly sliced
    1/4 c  Fish sauce '3 Crabs'
      1 c  Chopped cilantro
     10    Thai cinnamon basil leaves
     10    Holy basil leaves
           -Sliced fresh green (not
           -red) Thai bird chilis to
           -taste (LOTS - five or six
           -minimum)
      1 c  Long beans, cut in 1 1/2"
           -pieces (asparagus beans)
 
  Ingredients are in order of use.
  
  Heat the oil and fry the shallots, ginger, garlic, and curry paste.
  Add the chicken and red onion. When the chicken begins to turn color,
  add the coconut milk, broth, lemon grass, lime leaves, fish sauce, and
  sugar. Bring to a simmer and add the basil, chilis and cilantro.
  Simmer for about a half an hour. Add the long beans. Simmer until the
  chicken is done and the broth is reduced and thickened, about an hour.
  
  Serve with chopped cucumber, chopped roasted peanuts, sliced fresh
  mango, and jasmine rice.
  
  WARNING: A green curry, this is maybe the hottest dish on the planet
  Earth, rich and aromatic and perfumed. Do not mess around; it isn't
  for the timid or uninitiated.
  
  I grow many Asian herbs (kaffir lime, basils, chilis, mint,
  lemongrass) because they are rare to buy. Italian basil can be
  substituted for the Asian basils, but are far different. If you can't
  find palm sugar, use honey, not white sugar.
  
  Hope you will try this. It is a favorite in my family for birthday
  feasts. Angela
