Day 461: I Dine With A Pathologist

"Look at that", he says, holding up a slice of broccoli stalk. "It looks just like a brain stem".

I hope he doesn't harbour a secret wish to be a food critic.

Dining with a pathologist is always very instructive, I've been told.

Plus, I am to spend Christmas in my boyfriend's family and collecting this exact kind of casual conversation openers. (One need to prepare early for such an occasion.)

Many thanks to the pathologist!

Not as bad as me - the other day I was eating my housemates fam (vegetarian version of ham) and I folded the lovely pink thing up and commented on how it looked just like a vagina.
He wasn't so interested in eating it after that .. apparently it isn't good for food to look like sexual organs.

Oh dear no, he is not bogus. I have seen his telescope. It was a cross-section of the bit of stalk that starts to bifircate into smaller stalks, each one bearing a floret.

Structure people - not palette! Personally I think my own brain probably is very broccoli-esq: small, and quite possibly a bit mushy from being over-cooked...

My brain is like a bowl of mashed turnip. Fact.
