Cauliflower? Say it isn't so! Half a head of cauliflower baked in oil and garlic is delicious! And if you don't eat cauliflower you can't make your own gobi aloo either - and that's just wrong.

And I can't be the only person in here who thinks okra is fantastic?

No is convincing me that strawberries are tasty. Vile, putrid, wet things.

Sprouts and cauliflower are the two finest foodstuffs known to man. Why on earth do you think Vindaloo was invented?

Oh God I love gooseberries. Apparently it is illegal to cultivate them in New York, fortunately they actually grow wild around us.

Maybe this;
Note that like most Ribes, the gooseberry is a potential host for white pine blister rust, which can cause serious damage to white pines; thus, gooseberry cultivation is illegal in some areas of the U.S.

It is odd how the US has a history of making pleasurable things illegal. The price we pay for preserving our freedom, I guess.

Bananas and peas. Horrible minging little ****ers the pair of them. Sour cream, too. Just why??? I try my best to avoid the local bacon 'products' as well but sometimes I have to pour on the HP and make do (the HP helps).

That's about it, I like most other things.

So why isn't the UK a seething pit of blister rust?

In the context of a failed state, NHS Death Panels and rampant chavs, would we really notice a bit of blister rust?
