It's time to move on to something better to bash here on the forum...Broccoli...that's what has caused all the commotion and troubles that is confronting the world.
Now when I was younger, there at the table, my mother put broccoli in front of me..."Eat it, it'll help you grow up and make you strong." It'll put color in your cheeks".
"But I don't want to grow up and go HO HO HO and look like the Jolly Green Giant"
"You'll sit there until you eat it".
If I had sat there until I ate it, then I would probably still be sitting there..Thank goodness I had to go to school the next day.
(I still don't like it)
Liver and Onions...Another of those foods I'd still be sitting there....Thank goodness for ketsup.....I think I used a whole bottle trying to drown out the taste of liver and onions.
(Don't like liver either)
Now my one set of grandparents owned and operated a cafe...What ever they served, they always served a side of white bread and two pats of butter...I guess the bread was to sop up the plate with...I don't know...But this I do know, not too many places do that any more. Even serving a roll with the meal seems to be something to be remembered, instead of savored. Guess it's something the nicer people did away with, using a piece of bread to clean their plate with?????
My other set of grandparents, my grandmother also always served a slice of white bread and some butter to go with?????? Maybe the source of that was promoted by the dairy companies to sell more butter. I don't know.
See, it's because of broccoli and liver and onions that I got the attitude, I don't want to, and you can't make me...
I have overcome my adverseness to Brussel Sprouts though.
Maybe it is old age that turned me into a old curmudgeon instead of the broccoli.
