This is going to sound really strange, but we're doing a quiz at work regarding Healthy eating, and one of the questions I've got is...

Which Vegetable was regarded as the Ancients to be a symbol of eternity?

Any ideas? We're completely stumped and even web searches have revealed absolute nada! Shocked

Onion-domed towers were favored in Russia and Eastern Europe because it was believed that they would allow the building to last forever.
