Llan means parish

[don1]

I was always told that a tomato had no food value but whether that is true I honestly don't know

[gen2]

Llan can also mean church or holy place.

[Jenny18]

You are right it does also mean church Gen2

[Gowergirl]

A tomato is full of Vitamin C
Don't think there's much goodness in lettuce

Dont know if this helps you

General Tom Thumb was the stage name of Charles Sherwood Stratton (January 4, 1838 - July 15, 1883), a little person who achieved great fame under circus pioneer P.T. Barnum.

Stratton was 4 years old, the son of a Bridgeport, Connecticut carpenter, when Barnum met him. He was 25 inches (64 cm) tall (his final height would be 33 inches (84 cm)) and weighed just 15 pounds (7 kg) at the time Barnum taught him to sing, dance and perform.

Hope so

I think Dr Johnson said something along the lines of "a cucumber should be thinly sliced, sprinkled with vinegar, and then thrown away...": Certainly the usual answer for the least nutritious...

Some more possibilities for least nutritious vegetable:

iceberg lettuce - no vitamins, essentially mainly water

corn (maize) - goes straight through you
