    For a quick answer, so I don't forget this time, solanaceae. Kissing cousin to tomatoes and potatoes. A.k.a. the nightshade family.

    Jerry

    Good luck with the surgery Delly.

    Nightshade, one of the few that people don't usually mind not eating if they need to avoid this food family

    The Solanaceae family! The same family that tomatoes and peppers belong to.
