Alternatively there is always his Gastro pub

More chance of getting a table there too.Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama

I make a lovely one pot meal - Squash, kale and bacon one pot, and it's very tasty! In autumn/winter, we have a lot of squash/squash and roasted red pepper soup.
Even my Mam who is a fussy eater has started to eat and enjoy kale.
Sweet potatoes are ok, but as the name suggests, they are (to me anyhow) too sweet, and I'd rather stick to normal potatoes.
Kale's been around for yonks. My dad grew it on his allotment 60 years ago when he and my mum were trying to find a green vegetable I would eat. It didn't work, nor did the purple sprouting broccoli he tried at the same time.
What a sad trial I must have been to my parents.:(0 -

No idea? I just tried to quote myself and nothing came up.

Nobody does that!
One posts shortish posts, without all the minutae.
Do you not accept anything people just say? Are you a detective, or barrister or something, somebody who has to analyse and cross-check everything in order to "trap a scrote"?
I was once described as "Miss Marple, with a touch of Suzi Quatro" so you might mean me by that remark.:D0 -

I hadn't realised that. I'd just imagined it to be a fairly new thing (in this country at least), but I guess it's come to people's attention more as the latest Superfood.Andypandyboy wrote: »

My dad grew curly kale too. He grew lots of veggies.
However, my mum would never eat anything out of the garden in case an animal had pee'd on it.
Now she was an awkward person to eat anywhere with. She was a vegetarian, which in itself wasn't a problem, but also she didn't like many of the things veggie food is based on, such as tomatoes, mushrooms or courgettes.
She also didn't like to eat food she hadn't prepared herself.
She lived to be 93 and had a balanced but very restricted diet of (veggie) cheese, peas, potatoes, yogurt and apples and bread. Milk and eggs if they were cooked in things, but not 'neat'. Not much else.
She loved the home she spent her final days in as they gave her what she liked to eat and didn't try and make her eat anything else.
Perhaps that's why I hate people being fussy or precious about their food, because my mum was so fussy with hers!
Just get it down you and don't make a fuss, that's my motto. (AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -

Apparently it's been around since the Middle Ages and growing it was encouraged during the last war (probably where my dad got the idea from).

What people say/how they say it, is very revealing. Or don't you think so?
Anyway, I am out, as they say.
Let's discuss veg......0
