Well give me strength, what would Carl Linnaeus say to that ?? Spuds, Kumera, onions, Garlic, tomatoes are actually VEGE !!

I would probably be vegetarian if they were more fun to hunt...

tomatoes are actually a fruit of the nightshade family

Greetings Moa Hunter, Coote and Gone Tropo,
The first house I bought still had the original gas copper and kauri tubs installed. My father had a enormous vegetable garden with heaps of spuds. It was meat, spuds and 3 veg in our house, plus heaps of eggs from our chooks. I used to grow heaps of spuds while the kids were at home but these days I am the only regular spud eater. I was pleased to see that the two spud varieties that my father grew in the 1950's, Ilam Hardy and Rua are still available but I chose another favourite Desiree to plant.
Regards Grandpamac.

2 years ago we renovated my family home built in 1960. Part of the reno was to remove the old copper stand from the laundry so have lived with one in the house for most of 60yrs. Don't remember it being use though except to dip fruit for drying

I still have a copper, set up with an outside bathtub

hey if i could afford to eat a full meat diet i would do, well that and massive amounts of dairy. hell i must drink/use 6-8 litres of moo juice a week

Fun fact: tomato, potato, gooseberry, tobacco, nightshade, devils trumpet, datura etc.... are members of the Solanum (Solanaceae) family.
Which explains why their can be a certain toxic and hallucinogen properties around some of them at times.

You are not anti vege it seems just antigreen which may not be so bad after all. As for the 'frute' above do you mean 'jobby jabbers'?

We've had our spuds decimated by the deer, well at least the foliage. Always thought deer wouldn't eat such things. The rhubarb gets hammered to.
