Heh heh heh... at this point, it all gets too confusing for my lentil-sized
brain. I do know that they taste good, they're a great source of lots of swell
vitamins, minerals and fibre. But JB, buddy, if you don't want to eat them,
that is absolutely your right. I defend it, as I defend my own to never eat
bell peppers. (Anyone else here a hardcore CH but can't stand plain green and
red peppers? Why do you suppose we're like that?)
