for EW in particular - fernickety eaters

[Guest guest]

I better explain as I just thought I may just be using another UK word here...

fernickety is picky, fussy.

Having read about EW's wife being particular about foods I thought I might shock

you... because here I am, a vegetarian of beyong 20 years. I loves my vegetables

and a plate isn't a good plate without greenery.

When I first met my husband, I cooked him a Great British classic of Sunday

Lunch with lots of lovely vegetables, Yorkshire Pudding, Vegetarian roast... he

ate it all up. Slowly over the months, it came to light that he didn't eat one

vegetable, or another vegetable... eventually I found out that the man I fell in

love with would only eat

Baked beans (English staple food of canned haricot beans in tomato sauce...

probably the nations favourite vegetable after the potato)

Sweetcorn

Mushy Peas (these are marrowfat peas, dried, soaked and cooked where they turn

to a green mush. Usually served with battered cod and potato fries, 'fish and

chips')

Iceberg lettuce

Tomatoes - cooked only as an ingredient in something else like pizza or chilli

And that is all.

I sneak vegetables into his stews so long as I can get them to disintegrate to

avoid detection.

Luckily, my two year old adores veggies and happily eats white meats and fish,

so it would only be me thats fernickety about meat and him with his veg.

Cooking meals is so much fun....!

Charlotte:

Try doing this. Shred any veggie. In a bowl, make a batter of one cup of flour

and one cup of seltzer or club soda.

Take the veggies and dunk them in the batter. Heat some extra virgin coconut

oil (or any oil you fry with) and take a tablespoon of the batter mixture and

add to hot oil pressing down so it is flat and thin. In a short while, flip it

over till it's golden brown on both sides. Top with either applesauce, sour

cream or any lovely English Concoction you guys top your veggie fritters with.

tonight I did this with my pea shoots, chia and bean sprouts. I've NEVER done

this before but I got adventurous. Well, let me tell you, my husband ate it up.

I And I grew everything I put in that batter. Added some shredded onions and

some garlic powder and when I made the fritter or dumpling, or whatever it is

called, and it becomes golden brown and crispy, I BET YOUR HUSBAND WON'T TURN

THIS DOWN.

You HAVE TO TRY THIS.!!!! lol

> I have a son in law who's mother didn't cook. He thinks that there are only

two vegetables: corn on the cob and french fries.

> When he comes to hy house for dinner, I put a salad in front of him. It's

taken 15 years, but now at least he tastes it.
