Where would Christmas be without at least one comedy vegetable moment? And with the sad demise of That's Life! (a 1970s to 1990s Sunday night TV show where they were a key feature) it falls upon me to bring it to you this year, freshly picked from the allotment and in its prime ;)
And if that wasn't enough, today's the winter solstice so the days get lighter from now on - huzzah!

LOL, how rude!
ReplyDeleteI used to enjoy That's Life too, especially Cyril's stories.
Occasionally see Ester on TV, and Paul Hine does Watch Dog reports, but I wonder about the others (although I think Cyril passed away?)
TV is not what it used to be!

Hi VP, I didn't get it until I saw Zoe's comment and went back. I am so innocent! HA Happy solstice, hooray for the coming of longer days!

Oh my goodness ! yikes !!!!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure it isn't a character from Dr. Who ??? ... I swear I saw one just like that in an episode VP ! ... Yes .. I'm a hard core Canada BBC fan .. and watched "pure" British shows while we were in Holland .. thank goodness for cable while we were there ! haha
Good luck with the alien veggie girl ! : )
Ha ha! Nothing like a rude veg to cheer the long winter nights.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to use my extra minute or two of light tomorrow!
Hi VP, Leave it to veggies to add a note of comedy to a cold day! I googled the show and I have to say, I think we missed out on a real treat!
ReplyDeleteHappy Solstice Day!

Oh my goodness. I had to avert my eyes! :-D
ReplyDeletejust a question: i am having trouble with google. every week to week&half, google refuses to let me sign in. so i have to re-register for a new account. same password & same name-- & then i can post. does this happent to anyone else? sending an email to google gets nowhere.
ReplyDeleteI guess you could say that's a pa(r) who hasn't had the snip. (Sorry...)
ReplyDeleteOh small but perfectly formed VP. I am blushing :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to have the shortest day behind us.
That veggie does have a rude look to it,lol.
ReplyDeleteRoot vegetables - so versatile. Good for the table and for a laugh!
ReplyDeleteAs you say all part of a traditional Christmas just like pantos! xx
ReplyDeleteHe looks perfectly natural to me:)
ReplyDeleteWhat..?
ReplyDeleteLOL.
I gather that's a parsnip. I don't eat them & now I don't want to!
ReplyDeleteZoe - sadly Cyril Fletcher passed away a while ago. I loved his odd odes and newspaper howlers too.
ReplyDeleteFrances - I think we'll all be glad of the lighter days
Joy - I think you mean the Ood? I'll make sure I include that when I do a YAWA post about parsnips
HM - glad you like it!
Gail - you did, it was very entertaining.
Susan - I did wonder about putting a warning up!
Petoskystone - I've answered this on a later post. If anyone else is having similar problems, do let me know
Victoria - that's very good. Just the kind of thing NAH would come up with!
Anna - yes, I'm glad too
PG - yes, I thought we needed cheering up!
EG - it was yummy despite its appearance!
Flighty - Ohhhh yes it is! xx
Deb - well, yes it is really ;)
Garden Bloggers - welcome and glad you liked it!
MMD - you've made me realise this is an unfamiliar veggie across the pond. Must do a YAWA post. And they're absolutely delicious despite the appearance of this one!
