Spinach !

[BCO]

Just tossed them in the food processor with the rest of the stuff for the pesto.

If you want to use it as a parmesan substitute in other dishes, just grind toasted sesame seeds with a little salt until crumbly (sort of like finely grated parmesan).

*high five* fantastic tip, thanks

Spinach! Pah. A really cool vegetable are Brussel Sprouts! Lyle Watson (a scientist specialising in ‘Weird Science’) determined that the Brussel Sprout was the most intelligent vegetable and also demonstrated how it got desensitised (calloused) to death. When he dropped eggs into boiling water nearby (thus ‘killing’ them), the most extreme reaction came from the Brussel Sprouts on the initial few. The strength of the reaction decreased the more eggs he ‘killed’.

NOTE: **Any resemblance between South African citizens and Brussel Sprouts is purely coincidental**.

Could this be vegetable evolution? Are you scoffing sentient beings (although spinach is pretty dumb)?

Could Brussel Sprouts be proto-Jedi Knights?

When Obi Wan Kenobi was escaping Tatooine in Han Solo’s freighter (Millennium Falcon), Darth Vader’s Death Star vaporized the planet Aldebaron and Obi Wan sensed a ‘disturbance in the force’. Hmmmmmm. Much like brussel sprouts sense a disturbance in the life force of eggs.

The experimental methodology was as follows (in case you want to replicate his findings):

He determined this by connecting-up various vegetables to a polygraph (lie detector) and measuring vegetable response when he dropped eggs into boiling water nearby (thus ‘killing’ them). The most extreme reaction came from Brussel Sprouts. We can deduce that the humble Brussel Sprout is the most civilized of the vegetables because it reacts the most strongly when life is destroyed. Treat it with respect. Spinach is pretty stupid.

Wiki may have something but a site (http://www.lyallwatson.com/New_Look/Home2.htm)

Born in South Africa, Watson had an early fascination for nature in the surrounding bush, learning from Zulu and !Kung bushmen. Watson attended boarding school at Rondebosch Boys School in Cape Town, and in 1958 earned degrees in botany and zoology before securing an apprenticeship in Palaentology under Raymond Dart, leading on to anthropological studies in Germany and the Netherlands. He has additional degrees in chemistry, geology, marine biology and ecology, indicating a broad range of interests. Watson earned a doctor of philosophy degree in ethology under Desmond Morris at the London Zoo.
