edible mushrooms, yeah, I've heard some people actually eat raw vegetables and rice too. Thanks, but no thanks

Spoken like a cattle rancher from Texas with a diet of beef, beans, and batataes

Come on Frank you have eaten cucumbers and peas and carrots from the garden. Raw rice. Oh I would have to be desperate.

Nope I might make sweet pickles and dill pickles out of cucumbers if I can harvest them while still small enough. If I happen to let them grow a day or 2 too long, they become hog food. I don't plant peas, cabbage, asparagus, broccoli, celery, rhubarb, black eyed beans, lettuce however that crap is spelled. It is probably easier to say what I will plant, Any and all kinds of HOT peppers the hotter the better bell peppers, (those I will eat raw),tomatoes, the wife likes them and I will cook with them can't make spaghetti sauce or chili without them, Onions, I use a lot of those cooked in cooking, potatoes, corn, pinto beans, and a wide variety of herbs when I can make them grow. We rarely buy anything in the produce section at the grocery, the wife might buy a few things there once in a while, I won't be responsible for her stomach. I might buy a carrot if I plan on making a stew.
I don't eat under cooked meat either

There ain't no such thing as undercooked meat--beef, anyway--unless you can't catch up with it on your plate to poke it with a fork! Rare pork is a delight too (you have to freeze it for a while to take care of any trichinosis critters), but near 'bout any part of a hog slow cooked for 12-18 hours is the best (that would not be rare).

I would rather eat jerky than a medium rare steak `I took my installation crew out to a steakhouse one Friday after we had completed a project. I had no idea it was Prime rib night and the only thing they served on PR night was just that with choice of 3 sides I think everyone but me was thrilled. When the waiter came around to get our side and drink orders, I told him I wanted the end cut That's the first 1 1/2inch piece they usually throw away I said I'll have the end cut but I want the red side laid on the grill and grilled for a full 5 minutes I wanted it almost a light tan color inside

"Medium rare"??!!?? Why, that is jerky, isn't it? There should still be a little fight left in the critter when you eat it! Oh, Lord have mercy! You don't use steak sauce, too, do you?

I wonder if that mushroom came from the garden of the guy who buried the logs in his garden a few days back?

I put Ketchup on my steak!!!!
