Looks like there was also a potato, a swede, and a pepper involved.  Wondering what kind of pepper was used and how the heck they were able to play it?  I'm sure that it wasn't a scotch bonnet though!

I have a lot of respect for him in terms of what he did to Highgrove and pushing an organic agenda and supporting local farmers.
