What the fuck are mesclun greens

I do not believe that people are meant to find bitter things tasty. If it tastes like fucking poison, we are not meant to eat it, because it is likely bad for us, if not downright lethal. This is probaby a selection trait. If it's bitter and nasty, it's probably bad, therefore anyone stupid enough to eat poisonous plants should be weeded out of the gene pool, and the taste for bitter shit should lessen with each subsequent generation. So I do not understand why it's suddenly trendy to want to eat these salads that are made up of greens that look like they've just been yanked out of someone's window boxes, and taste like carpet cleaner, with one fucking miserable cherry tomato for color. I want a real salad, not your fucking geranium leaves with dandelion stalks and brillo shavings. Fuck off with it, Jean-Claude, I want salad, not poison.

Actually, my tastes are very ecclectic, hyaku-rin. I just don't like the bitters. It's my blog and I'll moan and bitch all I like about things I don't like. Actually, baby spinach with a raspberry vinaigrette is very good. I'm not a complete rube. Rube..rabe...ewww broccoli rabe...that's tomorrow's post. Thanks!

Watch it BitchASS!! Bitter greens are not the realm of Jean Claude or some such- my italian nana used to pick DANDELION greens out of our suburban back yard horrifying my parents and the neighbors. That shit was about depression era desperation. Don't down on Nan's freak flag- even if she did have her nylons rolled down to her
ankles.

Lighten up, cuntobools. We are not living in a depression era, we can eat what we want, when we want. You have a computer to rant on, you are not destitue, you are not reduced to picking your salad out of your lawn. I just think bitters do not fucking taste good. My grandmother boiled the shit out of all vegetables, and my father ate salads made from romaine and spoilt milk. The freak flag is flying quite happily over my ancestry.

Amen, Andraste. Damn the nitwit who first picked up a sprig of broccoli and said "Yum! I'm going to enjoy this vile weed immensely"?
