caddymanVegetables are crunchy, green squeaky things that stick in your teeth and taste like poo.
Eating them pureed and boiled to death with lots of other flavours thrown in top is the only feasible way to consume them.
Except broccoli. Broccoli is the best vegetable on the planet and it has an IQ of 10, which is pretty good if you are a vegetable. Peas are nice, too. But they are stupid.
Don't get me started on the intellectual level of spuds; they ain't called 'humble' for nothing.

Goes well with cheese, though.

Also, she can't stand 'bits' in food products.
That means that a scone with sultanas in is untouchable. A fruit cake (don't tempt me !) with 'bits' in is also un palatable.
...you'd think there were enough crazies in my family without marrying more of them.
Your are right about broccoli though.....It's Vunderbar !

One is also encouraged to stuff them, often in a misguided attempt at vegetarianism, but which only means that if you leave off the pepper you can have more of what it was stuffed with. And you can't get an entire fillet steak into a pepper anyway. I do like them grilled and then used in a recipe in a supporting role, but they should never get star billing.
Spinach, Broccoli, Sprouts and the like should revert to being seasonal fare that we stuff or faces with for a few weeks in the year and then ignore, save for the odd bottle of sprout wine.

They are the supporting players, with one inconsequential line each ("your majesty, the peasants are revolting"), or none at all, while the meaty (tee hee!) lines and plot belong to steak, chicken and pork.
