	Mainly vegetables - particularly 'Sweetheart cabbage. When my girls were small, we grew loads of vegetables - but there were never any runner beans or mange tout below 2 ft. They had been eaten by the children. ...then they realised the carrots were underground.... Eldest could walk at 9 months, and took a liking to gladioli flowers (poisonous), I redirected her to the nastrutiums and marigolds. You can see how strict I wasn't! :-D

	A lot of the vitamins are destroyed with cooking, Seville oranges are very nice with salt sprinkled on.

	I've not tried that but I have to avoid too much salt anyway. I like Balsamic vinegar on Strawberries

Member Since: December 2003 Posts: 40,307 Send Message	LaGooner	Report	24 Apr 2021 21:44
	:-D :-D :-D I like to savour them as long as they are absolutely dripping in vinegar.

	Whole onion in, suck out the vinegar. Pickled gherkins, big ones, oh yum yum!

	Pickled stuff - oh yes! My mum used to pickle octopus when we lived in Malta - so it must have been my first foray into picked stuff. And yes, I know octopus isn't a vegetable - but, for me, it led the way!

	I don't like vinegar much so don't eat a lot of pickled vegetables, pickled eggs now and then.
