“Gone with the Wind”: The movie not seen in over 30 years;
The book not recently read for the gazillionth time. What was the root vegetable which Scarlett ate? “As God is my Witness, I will never go hungry again!”.
Rutabaga, turnip, beet, potato? Do remember it was no carrot! Yuck for the Rutabaga, the only turnips eaten are the greens, cooked and eaten with a bit of hot sauce. Yum, these toxins are certainly tasty! :-) It’s apparent beets (the brain food) are not often eaten. Thus, memory lapses and brain freezes.
Being in the Deep South, I always thought the determined Scarlet planted cotton——which she traded for food.
