Lloyd made peas for dinner. Altogether now – “Yuck! Peas are gross! Down with peas!!”
Unless they are in Zoya’s amazing potato salad, then they are acceptable. But other than that;
“Gross! I will only eat a small spoonful and will make small gagging noises while doing so!”
I decided to supplement my tiny serving of peas with a couple of spears of marinated asparagus. Mmmmmmmmmmm….. tart yumminess. Then I noticed the label on the lid:
Rutin? Rutin? They’re not even trying! That word wouldn’t make it in a Scrabble game! Nice try, Maker’s Mark. I think ‘rutin’ might be code for ‘ant poop’.
Brad says
Of course rutin is a real nutrient. I make sure I get some every day by taking glagnitius berry extract. Besides rutin, it also gives me a daily dose of grebostinol, dytissisin, fluflosinite, and Vitamin B-71. I’m the picture of health!
Kristi says
Try dousing the peas in cream. OR try Deborah’s recipe for Chicken Pot Pie. That’s a delicious way to eat peas.
Peggy says
This is the d2nd or 3rd time I’ve heard about Deborah’s Chicken Pot-Pie.
How about the recipe Deborah?
Deborah says
I haven’t made that in a while, but I believe it was the recipe on the Bisquick box.
Peggy says
Never having heard of rutin, I looked it up:
Rutin, also called rutoside, quercetin-3-O-rutinoside and sophorin, is the glycoside between the flavonol quercetin and the disaccharide rutinose (?-L-Rhamnopyranosyl-(1?6))-?-D-glucopyranose). In fava d’anta, the synthesis is done via a rutin synthase activity.[1]
Got it.
But I did understand the side effects:
Rutin is LIKELY SAFE when used in food amounts and POSSIBLY SAFE when used appropriately in medicinal amounts for a short period of time. It can cause some side effects including headache, flushing, rashes, or stomach upset.
Lauren's mom says
Do you like frozen peas? There is a big difference between frozen and canned peas. Canned peas are mushy.
Jill says
Agreed. You couldn’t make me eat the canned ones. Blech.
