Okay, it's an emerging trend, so I'll jump on the bandwagon.

Ask me for my brutally honest opinion of any vegetable, except yourself or anyone famous, that I know and I will froth and rant.

A Slight Digression

I once had a 2 hour debate with colleagues that subsequently spawned a multi-week investigation and the ability to cause minor screaming at the very mention of the subject, to whit:

What is the difference between a vegetable and a fruit?
Where is that line actually drawn???
Is a mushroom animal or vegetable (and if you think I'm kidding check it out!)??????

For me the classification for the three boils down to these simple rules :-

Vegetable: Something I won't eat
Fruit: Something I will consider eating, in some form.
Mushroom: Something that is traditionally grown in sh*t.

Fruits are (something like) the body of a reproductive part of the plant, ie something wrapped around the seeds; vegetables are parts or seeds of a plant. Or something.
Mushrooms are just plain wrong and evil, they typically wear oversized shoes, jump queues and wear odd socks.
