"RUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgian police warned thieves Friday who made off with
leeks from a vegetable farm: don't eat them -- they could be toxic.
The robbers stole 440 pounds of leeks, a main ingredient of Vichyssoise
soup, but police warned that the vegetables should have stayed in the ground
another six weeks to be safe after treatment with toxic pesticides.
Police told consumers to beware of leeks with a strange smell which could
indicate they were from the stolen batch from the farm in the West Flanders
town of Izegem, Belga news agency said."
