Well they do..all that sweat makes them taste wonderful :-). But also,
you're tasting really fresh, natural vegetables the way they are meant
to be, a completely different experience from eating shop veg... which
have been grown for uniformity and stamina, then put through an assault
course; machine picked, transported, sorted, washed,dried, sprayed,
packed, transported some more, bunged on the shelves, into a trolley,
through a checkout, and into and out of the car boot.


Sheesh....After all that I wouldn't be suprised to find they were all
bruised (Although that would explain a lot!)

Just wait till you taste your own strawberries or tomatoes just picked
and still warm from the sun;


I'm doing both...Unfortunatly my daughter has had all the strawberies so
far....Ok there has only been about 6 actual berries!

or lettuce that was growing until five minutes earlier; or peas so sweet
and tender they really don't need cooking, or sweetcorn that wasn't
picked until the water came to the boil, or raw onions that drip juice,
or....

Just wait :-)


Dang....Now I'm hungry again!
