The Devil's Vegetable

The Devil's Vegetable poll:


[Poll #1416966][Poll #1416966]

In other news, I saw a male green woodpecker this morning, in the middle of an open field. He was industrously examining the fence posts. I think he must have flown in from the woods across the Tamar.

Minor grumble: my new, super-permeable contact lenses seem to be on slow focus. I can see things in a lot of detail, but changing focus on my eyes seems to take ages!

edit: dear me, the rich text editor gets its pants severely twisted once it comes to polls. Back to HTML editor...

About the only vegetable that could be considered a contender for the title of The Devil's Vegetable is the broad bean, vile thing! Sprouts on the other hand are wonderful, but they shouldn't be overcooked.

Have you tried skinning them? Parboil, then pop them out of the tough grey skins and eat just the bright green centre of the bean. You wouldn't know they were the same vegetable.

I don't like the taste or the texture of broad beans.

[adaese.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. I'll scoff them all myself, then.

You're welcome to them!
