I cant count how many people have told me I was stupid for making my own corned beef when I could just buy it at the store.
Then the comments on green when ripe. Where do they not get it? They always say fried green tomatoes. No these are green when ripe not green tomatoes like you would fry. The Paradigm set forth for tomatoes and many other vegetables like carrots is astounding to say the least. Red tomatoes orange carrots and nasty sour tasteless oranges. The blood orange has never caught on here in the US very well. The name sets people off. They should call them Sangria (means bleeding in English) oranges instead. Or maybe du sang. it seems the fancy French words are always catchy here. Lets just change black to noir that should do it. Tomates noir. Or maybe tomaten schwarz German or pomodori nero Italian. Goth tomatoes would draw in some folks. Anything but black, black is evil, witches and black cats and it puts people off from the beginning. Worth |
