Sometimes mint is used as a flavouring. In Northern England and the Midlands they are a traditional accompaniment to fish and chips, although their
Freezing have reportedly been revived after surviving for thousands of years frozen in ice. Many plants undergo a process called hardening, which allows them to survive temperatures below 0 °C for weeks to months. The nematode "Haemonchus contortus" can survive 44 weeks frozen at liquid nitrogen temperatures. Other nematodes that survive at temperatures below 0 °C include "Trichostrongylus colubriformis" and "Panagrolaimus davidi". Many species of reptiles and amphibians survive freezing. See cryobiology for a full discussion. Human gametes and 2-, 4- and 8-cell embryos can survive freezing and are viable for up to 10 years, a process known as cryopreservation. Experimental
