I'm not aware of woad being used in food. More likely tournesole, I'd
say. If you're referring to that awful Turnervision stuff, I think this
is one cinematic atrocity Ted Turner is _not_ to blame for.
Unbelievable, I know, but true. Robin Hood is filmed in some kind of
primitive Technicolor process, I believe.
