You know, I was thinking the same thing. Cucumbers sliced up and served raw, sure. But raw zucchini? Bleh!
Green onions, on the other hand, are the bomb. I remember my mom fixing us kids an afternoon snack of sliced tomatoes and cleaned green onions (both from our big garden). That and a slice of homemade bread would fuel me up for the rest of a summer afternoon.
Standing on a chair with one foot on the mess table.
Aye!
I toss cutups (and cubed bell peppers) in with my scrambled eggs towards the end of cooking so they just get up to temp prior to eating.
Actually, in the South plenty of adults eat what we call “spring onions” but I have never ever seen a child take the slightest interest in eating one. My Mama used to keep them standing up in a jar of cold water in the refrigerator.
Don’t school cafeterias usually serve those together, but cooked?
Same here. Its certainly not an issue worth getting our panties in a knot over.
...for the war effort. What war? Pick one.
Let this be a object lesson to young people everywhere: If you wet your lips with so much as one drop of liquid from the great toxic sea of liberal thought, you’ll soon go insane and begin doing things like serving raw onions to your children for dessert.
Mattafact, we would too - and washing it down with our monthly ration of vodka.
“Someone please tell me exactly what is wrong with ‘milk and cookies’, please?”
The torture of milking, high fructose corn syrup, and butter?
Ketchup, chocolate and coffee are vegetables and can’t nobody ever prove otherwise.
Well, at least the article explains later it was a mistake.
So we just had a bunch of cafeteria drones who didn’t stop to think bags of green onions, without even some dip, was a weird snack.
My husband loves raw green onions. But he was raised on such along with something called “wilted lettuce.” Ugh. There’s a restaurant in Tucson that serves grilled green onions, and I love them. Whenever we grill and also have green onions in the house, hubby makes sure that the green onions are grilled.
I have to say that I would rather eat raw green onions than raw squash slices. Cook that squash in a little bit of olive oil, and we’re in business. Fry that squash (battered in corn meal) and I’m even happier. That’s almost as good as fried okra.
Well actually tomatoes are classified as a fruit as well as green beans.
They’re prolly serving the raw onions with a side of pintos and cornbread. Delicious.
Do they scream when you bite down?
Yes, they holler, “Stick it, the Welch!”
Yeah, college kids are often indoctrinated that way. Don’t live the good life, live a proper zero-impact one like those poor exploited farmers in that overpopulated latin american country. Get used to living in a tiny room in a dormitory, bumming rides off of people, living off kraft dinner seasoned with sardines. Heck, students get to thinking they could live the rest of their life that way!
Where all the lobsters go??!
