Too good to resist
’m sure my mother was proud as I never put up a very big fight when it came to eating my vegetables at dinner. There wasn’t as wide a range of choices as we have today; in fact, she stuck to the basics such as green beans and corn. Quite highfalutin to have imagined Brussels sprouts, eggplant and broccoli back then – it just was not on the regular meal agenda. To consider eating an entire meal made up of vegetables reminds me of the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, when the aunt says, “What? No meat?”.
