Sunflower Seeds

[n2ize]

Does anyone else here enjoy eating sunflower seeds ? Pumpkin seeds ?

[HUGH]

Er, most of the tits and finches that come into the garden will demolish the sunflower seed selection in minutes. Perhaps this isn't what you meant.

I like sunflower seeds, but I don't eat them that much. I've never tried pumpkin seeds, but there are vendors at some of the traffic lights, who sell them in big bags for 5 pesos (about 40 cents).

Sunflower seeds were huge when I was in Jr. High School in 1970-72. The seeds came in a bag ("David's") for 5 cents. There were sunflower seed shells all over campus. It was a major bust to get caught eating those things in class.

I never did get why they were so popular.

I enjoy spitting the shells out in an annoying manner. :evil:

[NA4BH]

I'm hooked on them. I have one bag in the car and one on my desk.

[AE5CP]

I love em.
I can go years without eating any, but once I get a bag, it's destroyed in a matter of days.

Just the shelled ones. Dump a mouthful out of the bag, munch munch, that's first breakfast.

That's like using a milking machine instead of paying a hooker.

I wonder how many hookers you could pay for the price of a milking machine. You know—how long would it take to get a decent ROI?

I've seen losers using vacuum cleaners...

"I enjoy spitting the shells out in an annoying manner."
Like the average major league baseball player, others spit tobacco juice. I'd hate to be the poor slob who cleans the dugout!

nah, I prefer the ones with the shells. It's a whole different experience.

Pumpkin seeds are great. I like them even better than sunflower seeds. There is more "meat" inside the shell. Give them a try. I think you'll like them.

Yeeeeeah. No.

Homoerotic. What were you doing watching?

[HUGH]

I worked with a colleague who always had a pocket full of pumpkin seeds. Many seeds do contain small quantities of chemicals which the body can put to good use. Personally I have rosehip (complete) extract for a worn out hip but, given a bag of pistachios, you won't see them again within minutes.

So, I was told by a biology teacher that a fondness for a particular food item (not just food in general, that's too obvious) indicates a bodily requirement for the substances contained. (That begins to look like drug addiction but not quite the same thing). My favourites are mushrooms (cooked), green tea and really dark chocolate. Add red wine but there may be another reason for that!

Good call! I love all three!

I'm a sucker for anything with mushrooms in it.

[KK4AMI]

Then might I suggest this for those of you on the go! Green Tea can be added to the chocolate! :lol:

I'll send you my recipe for dark chocolate-dipped mushrooms.

I have an old pair of Nikes with some mushrooms growing in them if you're interested.

I prefer very light chocolate. But I love extremely hot peppers.
