I had mixed vegetables with my lunch yesterday. What kind of a dish is just called "mixed vegetables"? Do you ever see "grilled meats" on the menu? No, of course not. Yet many menus offer a side simply called "mixed vegetables."
So which vegetables would you expect in mixed vegetables? Cauliflower, carrots, and brocolli. Peas, carrots, and corn. Green beans, onions, and potatoes. There are dozens of combinations - I could throw lima beans or peppers into any of the above combinations!!
The only conclusion that I can reach on this issue: culinary experts have determined that any three vegetables, when eaten together, taste exactly the same.

Wow, I can't believe Kate let this one go... In our family, it is a running joke (on Kate) regarding the vegetable-status of Corn. She claims it is a grain and everyone else defends its birthrite into the vegetable kingdom. Most likely she's right, but it's still fun. :)
I am telling you this is great material. You should have a show that's about...nothing really! Me and Kenny could be your friends and we can come over and talk about all kinds of stuff that happened during the day! You know there are two kinds of people in the world...Those who can "mix" their food and those whose food can not touch! The culinary expert who came up with mixed vegatables is definately a mixer.
I'm liking the idea Jason... maybe I can live across the hall from Brandon and come over unannounced and maybe always make a really big, awkward entrance. It could be my trademark...
Hi, Brandon! I was clicking on links yesterday as I was procrastinating (should have been studying for my Korean test or cleaning the apartment) and I found your blog! Wow. I'm jealous, though, because you get more comments than me.
Lela - all the way from Korea!
Hey, I'm on your side Kacey. The food service establishment has threatened the integrity of our vegetables by forcing us to accept them "mixed."
This blog post was my cry for help. Thank you for answering.
