Dee said, when talking about Dr Seuss (a *very, very* American thing,
although I remember "The Cat In The Hat" being in my primary school
library):
<<The next moment the lunch was wheeled in (jumping ahead in time
ten/fifteen here), and it was green scrambled eggs and ham. (And beets and
biscuits, lol Neil! and applesauce. I do not understand why they try to
make 3 year olds eat beets when it's a known fact adults do not always like
them either! I eat them, but I'm weird--brussel spouts, broccoli, spinach,
etc....)>>
Okay, I'm going to regret this: Green eggs? Please tell me they have
parsley in them and not mould. Also "beets and biscuits" sounds like
something I'd scrape right off the plate into the bin; I'm retching at the
very thought of it. Does it have any redeeming features as a dish?
