So Many Vegetables ….. So Little Time……..

At The Towers we are all robustly partial to a full roast dinner, and if I say so myself,  I reckon Darrell and I give a pretty good account of ourselves on a Sunday, doing our prep as we listen to the omnibus edition of The Archers.

However, a chalkboard outside one of the pubs on the way to Tom and the Lovely Laura’s has put a huge glint in Nigel’s eye ………

……. as well as raising a couple of pertinent vegetable related questions! Six vegetables?  Six vegetables? That is all our strict five a day regime encompassed in just one meal …….. but is that six vegetables, plus the cauliflower in the cauliflower cheese, because that would actually then be seven vegetables to Nigel’s way of thinking.

……. And then roast and mash? Well counting them once as potatoes, that’s another one ……. making eight!  A meal that would have Nigel thinking that he must have died and gone to heaven, especially with a pig in blanket! 

Nigel has studied the board for more than a healthy amount of time, and is still pondering ……  would he be eligible for all six vegetables (excluding said cauliflower and potatoes) or would he have to choose for example three or four out of the six,  because, if truth be known  he’d much rather have all six and skip the choice …….. unless one of them was broad or butter beans, as they are the only vegetables that make him gag.  What is he like?

I suppose there’s only one way to find out, well, it would be rude not to, but we’re a bit busy for the next few Sundays so Nigel might have to wait and dream for a little bit longer, but I don’t think I will hear the end of it until we do ………
