After thinking while I was drifting off to sleep last night I looked up some quotes on vegetables. I found our old friend Anon had some words to offer, along with some other folks.
“A vegetable garden in the beginning looks so promising and then after all little by little it grows nothing but vegetables, nothing, nothing but vegetables.” - Gertrude Stein
“Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.” Anon
“Please understand the reason why Chinese vegetables taste so good. It is simple. The Chinese do not cook them, they just threaten them!” - Anon
“CABBAGE, n. A familiar kitchen-garden vegetable about as large and wise as a man's head. The cabbage is so called from Cabagius, a prince who on ascending the throne issued a decree appointing a High Council of Empire consisting of the members of his predecessor's Ministry and the cabbages in the royal garden. When any of his Majesty's measures of state policy miscarried conspicuously it was gravely announced that several members of the High Council had been beheaded, and his murmuring subjects were appeased.” - Ambrose Bierce
“A vegetable garden in the beginning looks so promising and then after all little by little it grows nothing but vegetables, nothing, nothing but vegetables.” - Gertrude Stein
“An onion can make people cry but there's never been a vegetable that can make people laugh.” - Will Rogers
Just some food for thought............
Oh, now, Mr. Rogers. Sometimes pumpkins make people laugh.
