That was just his stage name... real name was Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer and his last "Our Gang" movie was in 1946...

It is known as Lucerne in Australia and New Zealand. I've also seen it called Lucerne here in the UK. There's even a variety called Sand Lucerne which grows well in sandy soils.

I'm sure they're beansprouts.

Thanks everybody.Problem solved.

[copperascove]

isnt it watercress?

[Clanad]

I thought so, Zac... it was just a small appeal to the vaunted British sense of ironical humor...
