FAMOUS VEGETABLES

[Trixiebelle]

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?

[Wicker]

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 Peers, Pentland Squires and assorted Jersey Royals

Brain dead now!

[Trixiebelle]

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!

[cornykev]

Far too much time on your hands Trixie. :P ;D ;D ;D

[Rhubarb Thrasher]
