While we're on the subject, I want to make clear that beetroot are in no way to be considered vegetable. They were created in some kind of Victorian steampunk plot to punish the lower classes.

Cheers,
Leif

Buttered sprouts are nice, raw and shredded in salad are good too.

They're very good shredded, salted and with a squeeze of lime :)

I like pickled beetroot :D, and they're very good dried to be added to soups and stews.
Not fond of parsnips though; I reckon those are meant to be fed to fatten pigs.

And, Oi! though I don't rob many tombs these days :sigh:

Cheers,
M

I eat lots of veg too but have meat about 4 days out of 7 and I always know where it comes from, may even have met the critter and fed them. I'm also very fussy about where my veg come from and grow a lot of my own, the rest come from local growers. Local and organic are my fetishes. Hubby is a vegan so we rarely eat the same food but he has no probs wth what I eat; he doesn't do camping, backpacking or any such so his energy levels not a prob for him.

You Vegans are a PITA if you're throwing a dinner party for a mixed group. Vegetarians are bad enough. Then you find one of your guests is a gluten intolerant diabetic vegan with a nut allergy.... Oh boy.

Yeah, I feel bad sometimes when I have to tell someone who's cooking that I'm a soya intolerant vegan. And I have to admit that I'm not terribly sympathetic to the dietary needs of others. I was once cooking for a gathering of 35 under canvas and 14 of them were special diets. If we hadn't been cheating and cooking on gas I'd have taken an axe to someof them. Especially the person who had put herself down as needing a low-salt diet. Four days in, she comes into the kitchen tent and enquires if we have any Himalayan rose salt, coz she can have that! Freaking hippies!

You know when you go to a vegeterians for a meal how thet always keep on at you to try it while waving veg under you nose?

I wonder if they'll have the same grin when you hold a steak under their nose and keep telling them to try it.
