Lovage - according to Google. Have to admit that I'd never heard of it...:)
It is Lovage BB. Hence the reason why people have thought it an aphrodisiac - the German name Liebstöckel lends itself to the same belief. The Latin name Levisticum Officinale - Levisticum is the old word for Liguria, where the plant still grows wild. There is a Ligisticum Scoticum which grows in your neck of the woods which is quite closely related. Often used in German cooking and has a stronger taste than celery, less used in France and England (though my Mother used a lot of it - but she belonged to the broomstick brigade <laugh>). A very imposing plant which, like a lot of its relatives (like Angelica, is better not harvested on a sunny day without gloves). Over to you.

Beyond the late-2000s, Michael's online footprint amounts to a few bread crumbs. Nowadays, the BBC understands the 35-year-old lives a private life, his last known whereabouts in Nashville, Tennessee.

He did a load of game shows until a while back

Well that didn't take long...
Last heard of two years ago working as a stand up comedian in the Nashville Improv. Seems like a waste of education...

Over to you.
