But the Drosera species (Drosera rotundifoli, etc) was used for this, at
least according to some sources (among them
http://linnaeus.nrm.se/flora/di/drosera/drose/drosrot.html, but I have
read it in other places as well).

IIRC there are claims that brie is period.

Hmm, I can get a edible "cooking" brie for as low as 49 SKR/kg (app.
US$2.75/lb). This is not the good stuff (that's 2-4 times as expensive),
but is quite edible and very nice in cooking (tarte de bry, etc). The
traditional scandinavian hard cheeses (Västerbotten, etc) tend to be
more expensive ($3-5/lb). BTW, these prices include the Swedish 25%
"sales tax".
