<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Q3210</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Many mornings I perepare cucumbers diced, celery cut up, diced too and letteuce chopped up, shredded. I take one chunk of a sardine from the tin and add, mashed. I combine all in a bowl added with pepper, vinegar and tomato.
A divine salad. I chomp it up with a couple slices of natural bran bread spread over with refined margarine.

I worship vegetables and believe they are the cleanest type of food to eat. Fruit the same.

Re: Vegatables.....

I had my blood checked at the doctors a few years ago and the nurse remarked how full of protein it was.
That same morning I ate a whole tin of sardines.

From then, I never eat a whole tinful. I take 33% out and put the rest in a plastic covered dish and refrigerate.

The sardine salad is very good. Vinegar cuts the rawness and I hear it burns body fat.
I tended to use katchup, but resist when I have abundant salad tomatoes to use instead.

In my book, vegetables should never be battered and fried. Its a sin.

No.

And I am not a big fan of southern style veggies. (cooked down with smoked meat)

Steam them, stir fry or grill them. All I need is variations in seasonings and I am good to go.

Re: Vegatables.....

soup's a great way to get in veggies. i cook a pot then use it over several days.

also, as someone says, slip some in your meat dishes. i like tuna and elbow macaroni with green peas. when cooking fish i pile in okra. toasted cheese sandwiches i squeeze in tomato slices, basil and some chopped garlic.

it's relatively easy for veggies to become a habit, if you've decided that including them will be your &quot;normal&quot;.

Re: Vegatables.....

@ Ja_Jewel, fried okra is good.

@ Pepper, veggies indeed should not be battered and fried, but I have to make exceptions for fried okra and fried green tomatoes.

@ILP, I don’t like the style tempura either. Not just on veggies but shrimp and what not too. I don’t like the texture of the batter.
