Another vegetable that really benefits from roasting is cauliflower. My wife loves the stuff, but steamed it is utterly bland and lacking in flavour. So I toss it in a little olive oil and roast, either in the oven or on the Broil King (in a stainless mesh pan). Roasting reduces moisture content and concentrates flavour, so the cauliflower actually tastes like something.
Feh, you don't go back far enough. I remember pre-Wilson and pre-JC days.
Our cafeteria had a huge pan of both oven roasted every day, pay by the oz. The new management has discontinued that.😡
You do realise that some on the continent have been receiving all kinds of foreign TV channels for ages ?
(Back where I was hogged : 1 Flemmish + 1 French spoken channel from Belgium, 3 German ones, TV5, BBC 1+2. Inquiring minds speak foreign languages before attending highschool)

I know I'm younger than some of you old farts but when growing up, we were one of the few with a TV, on our rather affluent street. B&W of course but a huge 19"er and a great way to meet girls.
Wait, what thread is this?
Oh ya, Eulachons for dinner tonight. A whole shipload of 'em.

It becomes somewhat dissapointing an hour later, when you're watching a movie on the same TV channel, with the exact same voice.
For decades, I had the impression only five people in Germany did all the voice-over work.
I bet Cal scored lots of girls with 19''.
Back then I was just getting used to the fact they smelled different than boys. They smelled...well you know...tastier.
Grade One joke.
Why do girls wear make up and perfume ?.
Because they're ugly and they smell.
Adult joke.

Uh, around here the F is a much more colourful word and the E is for Etcetera.
Now I have to duck.

Thanks Cal, I do know that one.
The version I give is suitable in mixed company, pretty funny how the women try to come up with a retort....to no avail.
Dan.
Ah, they smell as goat, yes ?
(goat with benefits, if goat gets an attitude, eat goat)
