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.
Yes you can eat tomato leaves. My mum from cambodia add these to parfume her dish. Usually we take the young leaves
My God, I would have to sleep all afternoon if I had that delicious lunch.
Perfect Day in France!! Lovely LadyBirds!
Thanks Janet 🥰
Beautiful garden, just the way I love them, not all in order wild and wonderful.
Thanks Margie 🥰
Loved your life style and your naration on the video!! Look forward for more❤
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.
Thanks Jackie 🥰
I would say that was a perfect day! Sam and Mum found some great treasures, they have a good eye. Sam’s roast dinner looked spectacular, especially the yorkshires. First time I have seen green rhubarb, I bet it was delicious on the rice pudding. Thanks Sean and Sam🙏🏻❤️

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 🥰
That dinner and dessert looked so so yummy!
Beautiful garden at Sam's Mums house, thanks for sharing it
Thanks Dale 🥰
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.
😋👍
Excellent! I enjoy the outdoor yard sales in France!
Absolutely correct about tomato leaves Sean. scrummy dinner 1040pm here made me feel hungry.
Hi Julia, yes tomato leaves are not good to eat
🥰
Some great finds by Sam and her Mother. When we were in China we went to a cloisonné factory. Fascinating
👍
Thanks Annette 🥰
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.
That garden is enchantingly beautiful x

Thank you for sharing your experience with your family they brought well lovely garden to ❤
Lovely video!!!
Thanks Jan 🥰
Your greenhouse garden is looking lush 😍
Broasted potatoes, my favorite! Sam feeds you well! Nice & easy day.
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 🥰
Clearly a lovely area to live Sean, and a slower pace of life, very nice.
What an incredible meal! I love Yorkshire pudding!
A lovely country cottage garden.
That was quite a meal.😊❤️
😋👍
Thanks Marilyn 🥰
Yum, Yum!!!!
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. 😕
Wish I could stay in a place like that for a few weeks on vacation ❤❤❤❤❤
Loved watching ..Thankyou ❤️
Your welcome 😊
Lovely garden 🇬🇧🌵🇺🇸
😊👍
I love your house !
oh my need know more about what you was you putting gravey on? rolls ? they were pretty
I’ll pay $500 USD for everything the lovely ladies bought! Especially those Fleur de leis gun holders(?). I’m a big ⚜️ fan.
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
Lovely! Such a pretty garden!
Thank you 🥰
I eat the leaves and they taste mild. They taste a bit earthy and are great in pesto
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 🥰
Did you know that we call Yorkshire pudding popovers?
Interesting 😊
Hi Susan, no l didn't know that, ty for sharing 🥰
What is your recipe for stewed rhubarb? I would love to make it.
what UK accent does he have? What a nice place btw.
Yes! Absolutely don’t eat the leaves! Nightshade family leaves are toxic!
Sorry but at 5:21 he said a lovely little spot for a what? Just curious thank u!
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 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
🌟👍🍀💐
👍😉
🍾🥂🏆❤️🇩🇰
👍😉
Ö
Sam and Mum look like sisters, not mother and daughter!
How may an American move to France?
The same as any one else
You look like my Dad Unfortunately he is gone
Iam sorry to hear that he has passed
🥰
Food Is Not Born.
Lovely video!
Thanks JP 🥰
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.
😊👍
Beautiful garden.
Thanks Ross 🥰
Why you don't go to Petriks ?.. Hello from Perpignan
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.
Loved it all!! Wish I had that plate of food, it looks scrumptious!!
Thanks Dianne 🥰
Yay, shopping and food. Life is good. Also, lovely garden. Thank you.
Thanks Margaret 🥰
What a beautiful family day:-)
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
Do you not work at the pethricks any more x
No l have too much at home to do
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 🙂
Now that was a plate if food it look delicious yum
I love the garden! Beautiful!
Thank you so much Ruth 🥰
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.
looks good.
Green rhubarb.. do you have red varieties there as well?. I far prefer the reds over the green for all desserts.
Has the last of old skool Londoner’s all relocated in France or what?! 🤣
Living your best life Sean ? ❤️🇬🇧
you can't eat the leaves only the tomatoes
No you can't eat the leaves you are correct
What town are you in? Im in ALV.
What a beautiful garden xx
Thanks Jo 🥰
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
Wonderful video Sean 🥰
How did you turn rhubarb green? Is french rhubarb authentically green?
Sometimes
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 😆
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 😉👍
Charming lifestyle 🙂
For me, the first video i have seen from you - not the last!
Thank you 😊
