In France, cooking veg is no fun;
All those sauces, and not just the one!
The English, however,
Are rather more clever:
Rolling boil for an hour --- you're done!

"And her hair hung down in tresses,
Down by the stream that runs through the mill.
She was gathering watercresses,
Was Martha the watercress girl."

Judging by the opening responses on this thread, I would suggest a rotten one.

I suspect it's an impersonation. I don't think even he's that cretinous.

What's a vegetable? I thought traditionally the English only ate Kebabs and Cheese Straws.

I don't think my vegetable steamer is big enough to take WAV's head.
And I don't like turnips anyway.

Anything that has amusingly grown into a shape resembling a willy. Again, have a look in the mirror.

The problem is, after a vegetable has been boiled for an hour, it's hard to tell what it was.
