11. KALE (it's supposed to be rich in vitamins, but too bitter!

[karl]

This is really interesting, you dislike all the veg I enjoy Eamon!

[Eman]

Karl, but they are gross...
Henry, I also dislike Kale..but they are always plugging that it's good for you and rich in vitamins. I had some in some soup and I almost gagged!!!

[karl]

Eamon I love beetroot pickled but also hot as a veg, you can also put it in soups and cakes - the cake was very tasty! I also made risotto with beetroot that was quite nice too.

Never tried kale but our local supermarket has a whole new range of exotic veg.

Karl, the only time I saw Beets in baked goods was when I went to our local health food/ organic supermarket. It was a cake and it also had poppy seeds...yeechhhhhhhhhhh, but I guess the California Hippie crowd that hadn't gotten out of the 60's ate it up with their granola..ha ha!! Then again I can tollerate zucchini ice cream...

[karl]

Don[t tell me you don't like zucchini either? (courgettes to our UK readers) I cook that regularly in my Chinese Hot Tossed Salad along with peppers, onion & carrrot, the sauce includes Sherry, White Wine Vinegar, Soy & Worcester Sauce , Ginger and a dash of sugar. D E L I C I O U S !!!!!!

[Eman]

Karl, no I actually love zucchini and also ocra. I love deep fried ocra then you eat it with hot sauce, hush puppies (those are like deep fried dough balls) and catfish or bbq ribs..

[karl]

Is it ocra that's also known as ladies fingers? I've had that on my Stateside trips.

[Eman]

Karl, I never heard it called that. Always been ocra!!

[mariana44]

I have heard Okra [i thought it was spelt with a k"] called "Ladies Fingers"--I had a continental boyfriend who worked in a restaurant--that was many years ago, and he often mentioned it. I have never tried it myself. But I am guessing I would not like it.

[Eman]

Mariana, here in America it's spelt both ways. It's weird!! Parsnips...blahlhhh....I think you all are seeing a pattern that my folks had a hard time with me and veggies!! LOL
