That sounds insanely delicious. Was the spinach between the layers as well as in the noodles?

Yesterday Green Giant revealed the results of a survey taken to determine America’s favorite vegetable. It turns out our nation’s number-one vegetable is broccoli. That seems right to me, because broccoli rules. The two runners up were carrots and corn. All these picks are excellent vessels for butter and cheese.
As always, there’s some fun tidbits thrown in with the survey. Tomatoes and cucumbers (which are both fruit, but who’s keeping track, really), were favorites in 2020, but didn’t make the 2021 list. While corn was chosen as the most popular vegetable in seven times more states in 2021 than in 2020, it still didn’t win. It’s also the favorite vegetable among Americans between the ages of 55 and 72. That’s oddly specific, but okay!
The West Coast couldn’t care less about broccoli; it’s all about the carrots over there, while folks on the East Coast are big fans of the cruciferous vegetable. In general, most people chose broccoli over all the other vegetables because they simply like the way broccoli tastes. At the same time, although it won, it’s losing ground to carrots: the number of states that picked carrots as their favorite increased by 500% this year, while broccoli’s popularity fell by 23%.

Kentucky’s favorite vegetable is corn, because they turn it into moonshine.
My least favorite vegetable is yucas, a root vegetable found in many Caribbean and South American dishes. Although they are bitter, I eat them when they're on my plate because they are full of nutrients.

I first had that in Bologna, Italy, in 1961 and remember how tasty it was.
About a decade later, I lived in Saarbrücken, Germany, where I was an exchange student, and within a week, I had eaten at every Italian restaurant in town.

Who is the gentleman sitting next to Roger Moore? Albert Broccoli...He is responsible for many James Bond films...
By the way, they both passed away...
"Albert Romolo Broccoli was born in Astoria, Queens (New York City) on April 5th, 1909. His mother and father, Cristina and Giovanni Broccoli, raised young Albert in New York on the family farm. The family was in the vegetable business, and Albert claimed one of his uncles brought the first broccoli seeds into the United States in the 1870's."
Just about everyone who eats fresh vegetables regularly likes just about every vegetable.
But I’d sure put okra at the bottom of the list.
And I would put frozen in the fresh category.
Even some properly home canned make the grade...home canned tomatoes and greenbeans have 80% of their nutrition after a year. Careful not to over process.
But from what I have seen there is a large bunch of people who don’t like vegetables for anything but a colorful dressing...like a tomato on a Whopper or peppers on their pizza.
This is a song about vegetables
They keep you regular, they’re real good for ya
Call any vegetable
Call it by name
You gotta call one today
When you get off the train
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
the vegetable will respond to you
(La-la-ah la-la) the vegetable will respond to you
(La-la-ah la-la)
No one will know
If you don’t want to let ‘em know
No one will know
‘Less it’s you that might tell ‘em so
Call and they’ll come to you
Smiling and covered with dew
Vegetables dream, vegetables dream
Vegetables dream of responding to you
Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your joint while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide?
To hide
To hide
To hide, yeah
You know, a lot of people don’t bother
About their friends in the vegetable kingdom
They think, “What can I say?
What can a person like myself say unto a vegetable?”
And right they are
But the answer is simple, my friends (what is it?)
Just call, and tell ‘em how you feel
About muffins
Pumpkins
Wax paper
Caledonias, mahagonies and elbows
And green things in general
And soon, a new rapport
You and all your new little green and yellow buddies grooving together
Maintaining your coolness together
Worshipping together in the church of your choice, only in America
God bless America
Land that-
Call any vegetable
Call it by name
Call one today
When you get off the train
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
That the vegetable will respond to you
What a pumpkin
Thank you

Those toms look like the Mortgage Lifter variety.
I grew them for a couple of years and I think the smallest one I ever picked came in at 13oz. But as big as 22oz.
Only the noodles were made of spinach and were a light green.
Poor George Bush
I’ll stick to human absorbable nutrition: meat!
1066 days of only consuming meat & drinking water with zero downside!
Roasted with oil (grapeseed or olive) garlic, salt and pepper.
Thanks for that interlude
If there was ever a demonic vegetable that is it.
Steak is my favorite veggie
“like a tomato on a Whopper”
Like a tomato and onions on an Impossible Burger (me).
