Biased favourites

*msn: Kindred = ‘Kin’ + wrongly spelt ‘dread’? hmm.

I think the question “What is your favourite vegetable?” is biased as it (usually) only takes into account the sense of taste and nothing else.

This, I believe, is decidedly unfair of me, especially in the case of capsicums.

There is much to love about capsicums. The crispy crunchy sound they make when cut, the fresh, peppery smell they leave, momentarily, in the air, their delightfully clean-looking spongy insides, their myriad, rattly seeds like tiny seed pearls in a shell, their loudly-coloured, waxen bulbous outsides, smoothly gnarled, their dried and twisty stems…

But I hate their taste, and therefore “capsicums” are never an answer to the question posed above, and are denied a tiny chance for immortality.

Well hopefully this makes up for it.
