My Garden, and what to plant.

You could say the same for vegetables. That they have no valid taste of there own and need additives to make them tasty. Vegetable burger made with just one veg would be bland and taste, well of that vegetable, so would need other ingredients to make it tasty.
There are less ingredients in a good burger than a good vegetable burger.

Also doesn't apple ...[text shortened]... d alive for other vegetables. Not to mention eating some of them raw again whilst still alive.

my dear sir, obviously you have never tasted home grown vegetables, otherwise
you would not have uttered this naive statement. Cherry tomatoes from the
greenhouse are full of flavour, sweet and juicy, carrots may also be eaten without
preparation. I do not like mint sauce, its horrible, i dont know why they invented it,
therefore i used apple sauce for both pork chops and lamb chops.

eating vegetables could be classed as premeditated murder, if it can be proven that
vegetables are of course conscious, otherwise its moot to boot, but saying that,
hand of hecate is semi conscious, kind of, so you may have a point.

You bring a valid point to the debate, that indeed animals are slaughtered rather
quickly, however, here in the UK we have a profusion of Halal meat, in which,
animals must be ritually slaughtered, so that they are properly bled, which, entails
hanging them upside down and cutting their throats so that the heart pumps out all
the blood, hope you weren't enjoying a Kebab at the time, id hate to put you off 🙂

yes, with mushroom sauce and other condiments. One can hardly say that meat on its
own is anything other than bland! that's why its usually served with other things.

the best steaks need only a little seasoning and cooked rare melt in your mouth... no sauce just a little salt and pepper but tbh it would taste geat without the seasoning. for me, same goes with duck.

how did you enjoy the food when you were in India? puris, and pratas, and tandoori
nans, and tikkas and bhunas. In Pakistan people tend to eat lamb and goat and
chicken as well as well as a lot of pulses. Did you pick your chicken and watch the
dude cut its head off and then give it to you still warm in a polly bag?

i missed beef, chocolate and milk the most. found some ok cheese and some good quility expensive imported french cheese in bangalore but other than that i found the food to be very good in india with a lot of varity. i like spicy food anyway so was in my element in the local indian places, most fo the 'tourist' resturants were a disapointment, much to bland.

rava/masala dosa and puri (or poori in some places) were the highlights for me.

yes, some liked to go to the Marriott or the Pearl continental but I hated them, better
going to a little place where the dude roasts your thing over some charcoals and the
nan came strait from the tandoor. I suspect its a little different in India with lots of
vegetarian dishes, but the Pakistanis eat lots of meat. 🙂

the south is very vegetarian but you could usually find chicken if you wanted it. agree though, the little local places are always the best place to go... did have some excellent tandoori spit-roasted chicken though. i'm not much of a rice eater so had a lot of nan - yummy.

yes i know what you mean, more chilli and its a vindaloo, some cream and its a korma
, some tomato sauce and its a bhunna, saying that in Glasgow you can sometimes ask
them to make it desi style (traditional) although they dont always do it. where are you
planning on going next?
