> Curdy Buff, "Coeur de Boeuf": how is he related to Shakespeare,
knaves and appetizing tomatoes?

From the land where the tomatoes flourish (I beg your pardon, Herr
Goethe), I may say that "cuore di bue" (=coeur de boeuf) is the name of
a variety of big tomatoes, vaguely heart-shaped. Used in salads, mostly.

An anticipated echo of *two* chapters of Speak, memory...
