    Default The produce quiz!

    I got 8 out of 10, frankly guessing on two.

    Thank you, Food Network. I am wiser for my time with you.

    Six out of ten, mostly embarrassed by getting watercress wrong, I've seen that a million times, both in the wild and on the plate.

    5/10. Bah. Who can tell a leek from a spring onion without some kind of size comparison anyways.

    I got 8/10, but some were lucky guesses.

    Hah, I know nothing about veggies. "You got 1 out of 10 in 1:10"

    9/10 in 1:16. You can tell the difference between leeks and scallions by the coarseness of the green part, and that there's a clear line where the leaves start to angle away

    The one I got wrong was a learning moment for me: I had thought that fava beans and lima beans were the same thing, and was confused.

    7/10, feels like a victory to me.

    9 out of 10, though some I got only by process of elimination. Missed the leeks.

    Geez. 9 out of 10 in 1:04. I'm impressed with myself, because I really didn't think I was going to do that well identifying produce without the benefit of smell.

    The only one I got wrong was the broccoli rabe.
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

    6/10. I guessed a lot. The takeaway here is if we're ever in a life or death situation where knowing what morels, fava beans, garlic scapes, or stinging nettles look like, trusting me means you should probably make your peace with god.
    I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

    Yeah, we'll have to stick with artifex & Zuul, and hope they don't take it into their heads to poison us all.

    I actually wouldn't have suspected that "stinging nettles" was something you could eat.

    Well I know what nettles and rhubarb look like, other than that not a hope.
