The message
from "Andy Hunt" contains these words:

Well I will be growing my "freedom beans" on your advice!

I believe the US equivalent used to be cooked spinach. Just sitting
there in a gray-green wet mass. They've given up now. The only sign of
veg in school menus is "baby (lathed) carrots with dip' and an
occasional mention of 'steamed brocolli.' After all, a previous
administration declared that catsup was a vegetable...

Aha! Sounds like the kind of beauraucracy we have to put up with in the UK,
too. You should see some of the crazy rules that come out of the European
Union. Madness.

Right. Yeah. Carrots are officially a fruit because the Dutch and
Belgians make jam from them, and you're only allowed to make jam from
fruit......

The latest "urban myth" over here is that Kentucky Fried Chicken changed
their name to simply KFC because the meat isn't chicken any more - it's made
from brainless, artificially-grown muscle-protein derived from the moving
bits of ex-chickens, twitching in the labs as they are artificially
stimulated by electrical impulses.

Isn't it?
