FAMOUS VEGETABLES
«

In all walks of life and wherever you go, you can always locate a famous fruit, vegetable or herb
(Ok … I’m bored! Humour me!)
COMEDY SECTION
Basil Fawlty: Don’t mention The Pesto
French Bean & Saunders: Absolutely fabulous in pickle
MUSIC SECTION
Asparagus Spears: Pick Me Baby One More Time
Courtney Lovage: You have to understand it to appreciate it… or not.
Little Gem Richard: Quite crisp but a bit short
SERIOUS ACTOR/TV PRESENTER VEG
Leonardo De Calabrese: Over-rated in my opinion but ‘green’ describes it well.
Cauli Faraday: Women seem to drool over this vegetable but I’m not keen. Even with cheese sprinkled on top.
Brussel Brand: Dreadful foliage and a reputation for bolting in the early hours of the morning
ROYAL VEGETABLES
HRH the Pea of Wales and his dear lady wife Camilla Parsnip Bowles: A strange combination I’m sure you will agree. I can only stomach them together for a couple of Sunday roasts a year.
Princess Beetrootice (daughter of Funghi and Andriod): Sturdy little thing with an interestingly coloured head of leaves (no doubt inherited from her mother-veg) Could get tough with age. Better pickled.
POLITICAL VEGETABLES
Turnip Blair: Good mashed
Salad Hussain: Invasive and bitter. Best avoided.
Osama Bean Laden: Rarely sighted these days. Can grow in light-restricted conditions (i.e. caves) Also bitter and quite rampant.
LITERARY VEGETABLES
William Shakespeare (also known as ‘The Chard of Stratford’): Looks good, comes with recommendations from others but turns out to be utterly tasteless and uninteresting. AVOID!
Courgette Heyer: A hybrid relative of Georgette Heyer who knocked out a few ‘bodice-ripper’ historical novels in the 70’s. My mum had the whole set. Each book had EXACTLY the same plot-line and could best be described as ‘compost’. Much like the courgettes we know and love today.
Elizabeth Carrot Browning: A hybrid relative of the world-famous Victorian poetess. Unfortunately this vegetable’s rhyming couplets are as follows …
“I’m a carrot
Not a parrot!
I am orange
I’m not borage …” ETC.
Sad really, but I’m not going to lose sleep over it!
ANYONE ELSE GOT ANY FAMOUS VEG. THEY WANT TO SHARE?

Thought of some goodies earlier but daughter 1 now on an "I am the most annoying person in the world competition" with, oh no, just herself and my mind gone blank.

Trixie, you've started me off now!
Shallot
Church looking forward to her new role as a mummy but that won't leave
mushroom
in her diary for singing
Brocolli
Balboa - thinks he wasn't a contender because his name wasn't as catchy as his more famous cousin Rocky.
Kale
Minogue - Hopes to hit the Top Twenty with her updated version of Sir Cliff's "The
Onions
, darling, we're the Onions"
Florence
Nightingale-
Fennel
- descendant the famous Lady with Lamp
Rhubarb
Lenska - is she still Mrs Denis Waterman?
Excerpt from "the Tattie Tattler":-
When
Lady Christl
wed
King Edward
it was indeed a
Majestic
ceremony in which the
Pentland Crown
was piped in by a
Maris Piper
before an audience of
Maris Peer
s,
Pentland Squire
s and assorted
Jersey Royals
Brain dead now!

WICKER! :D
I love Shallot Church & Kale Minogue :D FANTASTIC!
I woke up at 6am this morning worring about something ... maybe it shouldn't have been HRH the Pea of Wales in my original post. It should have been HRH the Quince of Wales instead. But it was too late to edit the post.
P.S. I do have MORE important things to worry about but that one sort of slipped through the net!
