Thread: Vegetable Sine Qua Non

  1. #1

    Vegetable Sine Qua Non

    I vote onions.

    French [...] soup, liver and [...], mirepoix, caramelized [...] with anything.

    "Which one vegetable could you least do without?"

    ...but your terrible hatred of Other Beans is duly noted.

    No chili for you.

    In that case, disregard my vote.

    A double negative?

    Whichever one happens to be in the garbage?

    I don't know which ones they actually prefer. (Ok, I'm totally failing this test!)

    I have no idea what they eat..
