I use celery quite a bit - tarragon somewhat less. Nutmeg - unless I am making
an apple pie, hardly ever. And I have never, to my certain knowledge used
saffron - I don't stock it and probably won't mostly because of the expense.
Someone could substitute safflower or turmeric or marigold and I'd likely never
twig to the swap.

As far as I am concerned "practical jokes" are as foreign to the tree of humour
as walnuts are to an apple tree. I'm not the one who grafted "practical jokes"
(as mis-named as "military solution") to the tree of humour. And I refuse to
recognise it as belonging.

Very likely we will never agree - so, I'm done at this point.

What a rotten trick to play on a lobster who has given his life for people to
enjoy him.
