Hi everyone, just to be clear you CANNOT eat tomato plant leaves as someone had suggested to me in a previous comment.
Right. They are loaded with poison, no kidding.
You are from Where?
Ah, la culture culinaire Anglaise...
Yes, tomato plants are edible, but some parts are more edible than others:
Leaves
Young tomato leaves are edible and have a strong herbal aroma and delicious flavor. They can be prepared like other garden greens, such as kale or cabbage, or used in sauces and herbal tea. They are also rich in phytonutrients. However, tomato leaves contain the alkaloids tomatine and solanine, which are toxic. According to Toxic Plants of North America, an adult human would need to eat at least a pound of tomato leaves to experience harmful effects.
So moderation in all things.
My God, I would have to sleep all afternoon if I had that delicious lunch.
Perfect Day in France!! Lovely LadyBirds!
Thanks Janet 🥰

Such a treat to visit Sams mums place, her garden is beautiful and tranquil. Here i am in Australia, and more and more thinking how lovely it would be to be in France. My husband is a Londoner, but he doesn’t manage to do “cold” anymore.

OK I'm sitting here in Mexico on vacation and I'm struggling with the food lol.. But just seeing that beautiful roast pork dinner has just made my mouth water 🤤 I'm so looking forward to cooking a roast when home 😋 Sam's mum's garden is very pretty too 💕good bargains made by both.. 😘
Thanks 😊
Thanks Caroline 🥰
Struggling with food in Mexico? Real Mexican food is the best!! Try chilaquiles or chicken tinga. 2 of my favorites 😊
Aww looks delicious. I’m French Canadian. My late husband came to Canada with his family in the 1963 . That’s the first meal I had when I first went for dinner at his parents. Now my grandkids love their Roast with Yorkshire putting.
😊👍
Nice garden and more lovely was the food..lol
Lovely vlog Sean
Thank you Helen 🥰
What a beautiful garden Sam "s mum has stunning. The roast looked yummy love pork with crackling and apple sauce. Loved watching Sean and Sam xx
Bless you Annette 🥰xxx

Sean, as for the West Germany label on that beverage container, Germany was divided into West & East in 1949 , 73 years ago. Prior to that it was just Germany.
Your roast looks wonderful. My mum used to make roast dinners for Sunday lunch and I loved the carrots, potatoes, and onions the best when they were carmelized.
Thanks Betsy 🥰
Oh my goodness, I'm salivating looking at your traditional English Sunday dinner folks! I still do the traditional dinners on Sundays if I'm home. Your Mum's garden is lovely Sam...love the English gardens! Nice to see you all again!
Thank you Norma 🥰
Absolutely correct about tomato leaves Sean. scrummy dinner 1040pm here made me feel hungry.
Hi Julia, yes tomato leaves are not good to eat
🥰
Thanks for sharing a beautiful day with treasures, gardens and good eats!
Thanks Marliss 🥰
Lovely video shopping and eating. Your MIL’s garden is beautiful . I love a good roast and rhubarb to follow. We grow quite a bit of the green rhubarb variety in NZ too.
😋👍
Enjoyed this video Sean, Sam & Mum!
Thanks Caro 🥰
Loved it all!! Wish I had that plate of food, it looks scrumptious!!
Thanks Dianne 🥰
Some great finds by Sam and her Mother. When we were in China we went to a cloisonné factory. Fascinating
👍
Thanks Annette 🥰

👍🍀🇮🇪🇺🇦🇮🇪 Great vlog Sean
Great vlog. Wow that Sunday roast looked delicious!!. Regards from Llanidloes 🏴
🥰
looks good.
Excellent! I enjoy the outdoor yard sales in France!
Great finds today, useful items too. The dinner looked delicious. Sean, I've had great luck sprinkling paprika around my veges and plants to keep the pests away. Of course, I had to sprinkle it fairly often. It worked for us and we didn't notice any harmful effects to the plants or us. Good luck, your greenhouse veges and herbs look wonderful.
👍
Thanks Jacqui 🥰 great tip we will give it a try 🙂
Lovely video!!!
Thanks Jan 🥰
What a beautiful garden xx
Thanks Jo 🥰
I read somewhere where it said to place slices of orange rind around your veges to stop the slugs. ive tried it and so far it seems to be working
Good tip Kay, ty 🥰
So much knowledge between the families - Knowledge is power at the end of the day…
Wonderful video Sean 🥰
Ooh I could’ve ate that roast dinner ,I showed my husband he was envious too ,Since we’ve been living in Florida I don’t do many roast dinners now except Christmas and Easter
It looks like a great day out for all of you. Some delightful bargains. The garden at Sam's Mum's is stunning. Yummy lunch!!! Thanks for sharing your day with us.
That was quite a meal.😊❤️
😋👍
Thanks Marilyn 🥰
That garden is enchantingly beautiful x
What a magnificent bowl so much work took to make it. How lovely this video was, and the amazing garden. What a blessing your lives are.
Your greenhouse garden is looking lush 😍
Made my mouth water watching Sam stack your plate with the delicious roast 😊
Thank you for sharing your experience with your family they brought well lovely garden to ❤
Broasted potatoes, my favorite! Sam feeds you well! Nice & easy day.
A lovely country cottage garden.
Great video lots of great finds and an awesome meal.💚 loved the look of the potatoes and carrots . Never seen them cooked like that .
Clearly a lovely area to live Sean, and a slower pace of life, very nice.
OMG that’s a lot of food 🙂😋
We have big appetites here Joanne lol 😍🤣
Hi, Sean!
I just looked up when you mentioned it about eating tomatoes green leafs, and it says that you can eat them just don't over do it. As a matter of fact it gave recipe for making a twist on ' Pesto ' with the leafs and also another one to make it like spinach. 😋 So I don't know why the conflict . I'm still going to try it I'll let you know. Cheers!
Please don't eat them just incase you get ill, l don't want that to happen no one is that hungry 😕
@@Seans_World
Okay, okay ! 👍 I won't. But, now I'll have that feeling of missing out. 😕
Food looks delicious
Thanks Gail 🥰
What an incredible meal! I love Yorkshire pudding!
OMG those Yorkshire Luda are outstanding.
Hi Sean! If you put a small saucer (pie pan) out in your green house with some beer in it the slugs will go to it instead of your plants!
There's never no beer left 😉👍
The ladies prevail with nice finds whilst Sean is skunked at the markets. Appreciate the enamel process for the bowls. The consolation dinner looked delicious and worthy of a nap.
Hi Glenn l slept for days after that dinner 😋
Thanks Glenn🥰
Wish I could stay in a place like that for a few weeks on vacation ❤❤❤❤❤
Loved watching ..Thankyou ❤️
Your welcome 😊
You guys made me hungry.
It all looked delicious.
I just subscribed today .
Billy said you had a channel, so I checked it out.
I would love to visit ,France.
I live in Texas USA
Yum, the food looks great, what is a yorkshire? From US, Tn so don't know what it is. Lol Need to research it I guess. Enjoyed the video.
It's made from milk, water, flour and eggs like a popover in America 😋👍
You should try them they are lovely, not a Sunday roast without them
Lovely garden 🇬🇧🌵🇺🇸
😊👍
I’ll pay $500 USD for everything the lovely ladies bought! Especially those Fleur de leis gun holders(?). I’m a big ⚜️ fan.
Why you don't go to Petriks ?.. Hello from Perpignan
Loved you roast dinner
how did you cook the spuds were they done in duck fat or dripping
Normally duck fat, but that time we used grape seed oil
I love your house !
I eat the leaves and they taste mild. They taste a bit earthy and are great in pesto
I am a new subscriber, thank you for this lovely stroll of your day in the countryside!
At lunch, what are those rolls that are in the shape of a small 'cup', and what is that syrupy stuff you are pouring into them?
Welcome 😆
oh my need know more about what you was you putting gravey on? rolls ? they were pretty
Living your best life Sean ? ❤️🇬🇧
Oh the garden and the magnificent food!!! 🍽️ I'm full now lol I would definitely need to walk a sunset stroll afterwards.🤗
Thanks for watching Diana 🥰
Lovely video!
Thanks JP 🥰
Did you know that we call Yorkshire pudding popovers?
Interesting 😊
Hi Susan, no l didn't know that, ty for sharing 🥰
Has the last of old skool Londoner’s all relocated in France or what?! 🤣
Yes! Absolutely don’t eat the leaves! Nightshade family leaves are toxic!
Green rhubarb.. do you have red varieties there as well?. I far prefer the reds over the green for all desserts.
I give you 10 years maximum in France and then you will return to home; I have watches so many family going back to the UK and its a pity but 10 years seems to be cut off moment
I've been here 16 yrs
Hi Sean what kind of fat did Sam use to roast the spuds??, that meal looked scrumptious
Grape seed oil, but we use duck fat for the best roasts
@@Seans_World thanks Sean
what UK accent does he have? What a nice place btw.
Do you not work at the pethricks any more x
No l have too much at home to do
What is your recipe for stewed rhubarb? I would love to make it.
Sorry but at 5:21 he said a lovely little spot for a what? Just curious thank u!
you can't eat the leaves only the tomatoes
No you can't eat the leaves you are correct
Hi it's Doug hear whats it like living in France would you reccomend it to people who don't have cars
More of a challenge unless you live in a city
How did you turn rhubarb green? Is french rhubarb authentically green?
Sometimes
