Not a silly question at all, I used to eat a seed bread here, I was taken very ill, could not stop vomitting at all, on my second week in Hospital I vommited a large seed into a metal bowl loudly. It was tested and had lodged in my gut and was fermenting. Maybye something in the old wives tale after all.
As for as asking questions about cooking I have been giving people advice all through lock down, particularly at Christmas when a lot of young people could not go home or were too responsible to want to put family at risk.
I was fine with it until a young Woman I know quite well asked me if I could explain how to make Scones. Her boyfriend a Brit wanted some like his Mother made.
Most of my replies were, try Mary Berry this time I told her to tell him to make them himself and call his Mother for instructions.
She did.
