  2. I can eat and enjoy almost all vegetables raw yet cooked carrots and celery I find repulsive. My mom said I never would eat cooked carrots as a baby as they made me gag. They still do yet they are my favorite raw vegetable.
    Weird huh?

  5. I will eat just about any vegetable except for Brussell sprouts, lima beans, green peas, not a big fan of cooked cauliflower but I will eat broccoli either raw or stir fried. Nice Frank Zappa reference. Come on Al, carrots are the best along with celery, green and red peppers which I eat on a regular basis. You can’t tell me that he’s never ate a potato or onion can you. Obviously, he’ll never die since he never ate a carrot since everyone who has ever ate a carrot has died according to Rush.

  6. Some vegetables are good flavor components of meat dishes, especially onions. And it just wouldn’t be a Bloody Mary without that celery stalk. And a BLT without lettuce? Forget it!

  10. When my kids were small they wouldn’t eat veggies.
    I started cooking the baby cut carrots in just water and brown sugar until they were almost glazed and making rice with diced veggies in it.
    They’re in their 30’s now and still love their carrots like that and love what they always called, “rice with stuff in it”.

    By the way, how does this guy stay regular with no ruffage in his diet?

  11. The humble chicken is an omnivore. Thus it roosts higher in evolution than does Al Michaels.

    House rule to educate and empower offspring: “You don’t have to eat it. But you have to try it.”

  14. Different Tim, as soon as carrots assume a temperature above room temperature, I cannot tolerate them. Been that way as a kid and to this day, mummble mummble years later, same.

  19. FYI, try Bird’s Eye Broccoli & Cauliflower Oven Roasters.
    They cook in the oven or microwave in a special bag and taste like they were outdoor grilled.
    I was never a fan of cauliflower but these are fantastic.
    Make up a little mayo & horseradish dip as an accompaniment if you like…

  20. Back in 1975, Michaels was the play-by-play announcer for the SF Giants. In one game, the Giants’ pitcher had a no-hitter going. Micahels kept talking about it. Lots of people sent him messages telling him that traditionally, that was not done. He went on a tirade about the First Amendment. You would think that someone who, presumably, loved the game would honor a tradition in a game of traditions.

  22. Al Michaels is a conservative who drinks his fair share so I can relate totally.
    He wrote a good book with some great stories in it a few years back.

    He was never an asshole IMHO, Frank Giffords was.
    Any time Michael’s or anyone would slyly mention a point spread during a game Giffords would get his panties in a wad.

    Howard Cossell was also considered a huge jackwagon as well…

  28. As a good (?) Kraut I like cabbage, which means I like the little ones (brussel sprouts).

    An Italian Beef sammich without hot giardiniera!?

    A Prime Rib without Horse Radish!?
