Woops

TV chef Worrall Thompson recommends deadly weed as salad ingredient | Life and style | guardian.co.uk

From the story:

In an interview in the latest issue of Healthy and Organic Living magazine, the TV cook suggested that the weed, called henbane, would make a tasty addition to salads.

Speaking from Spain, where he is on holiday, Worrall Thompson said he had confused it with the fat hen weed, which has edible leaves that can be used in salads or cooked like spinach....

Experts said anyone who had followed his advice and created a salad with henbane should seek medical help and may have their stomach pumped.
