Asphodel

The Asphodel Meadows is where the souls of people who lived lives of equal parts of good and evil rested.

It essentially was a plain of Asphodel flowers, which were the favourite food of the Greek dead. It is described as a ghostly place that is an even less perfect version of life on earth.”

Believing the dead ate the asphodel it was planted amongst tombs.

However, the asphodel was also eaten by the living – its bulbs when boiled produce a food similar to the potato.
