The European Unions common agricultural support policy gives grants to
greek tobacco producers. The tobacco they produce is however not of
the kind that is consumed in the western world and essentially unsellable.

Therefore, a few years ago they tried to push it as an new and interresting
vegetable! People who, as a part of their journalistic proffesion in
general, tried
tobacco sauce and tobacco sallad were not impressed. Greek tobacco is not
on European dinner tables. So, where is it?
