“The interesting article on the edibility of Trapa bispinosa reminded me of
something
I saw during a recent trip to the Landesmuseum in Zurich, Switzerland. A display of the foods
used by the
ancient Celtic tribes and Swiss lake-dwellers of the area included a Trapa nut,
apparently T. natans.”

“It was funny reading about the fruits of Trapa natans from Burma made into
rosaries
and sold in Italy, because I remembered that Trapa natans is an invasive plant
proliferating
in one of the lakes in North Italy.”
Dr. Francisco Comín, Universitat de Barcelona, Spain.
