SC - gold and silver leaf

[Philip & Susan Troy]

        Actually gold and silver leaf aren't toxic as long as they are real
silver and real gold.  Much of what is being sold is composition leaf or
plastic now.  Don't eat those.
        I have bought Goldwasser which is a liquor with flakes of gold in
it.  The gold was supposed to be good for digestion.  I've also eaten
desserts from Indian resturants with gold and silver on them with
rosewater.  The sheets are soo thin that you really don't ingest much of
them.
        My secret desire is to take a pearl, grind it and then put it in wine.
I know the romans' did that
