The trouble with vegetables.

The trouble with vegetables is that they're crap for breakfast.

Now I know what you're going to say - grilled tomatoes and mushrooms are two parts of a full breakfast.  Well I don't particularly like mushrooms and I can't eat tomatoes.

Years ago, for fun on a holiday, my mum offered me £50 to eat a tomato.  It was a nice small cherry tomato.  It's not like it was a buffalo bad-boy.  Anyway, the deal was that I had to eat the whole thing, nothing left over.

I gave it my best shot.  I popped that little tomato in my mouth and started chewing frantically.  There must be something about the juice, however, because the moment it hit my tastebuds that was it.  As I recall the game ended with me retching into the bin.

But I digress.

I'm struggling with the morning veg.  I literally don't know what to do.  I've taken advice from previous FIYLers and I've tried courgettes, aubergine, carrot, broccoli, peppers, the list is endless.  The fact remains, it's just a case of forcing them down.  At any other time of day I would love all of these vegetables but at breakfast, no thanks.  Does anyone out there have any ideas?  I just tried to roast some courgette and aubergine to add to a morning omelet tomorrow but they've turned into crisps.  What started out as over 160g ended up as - I kid you not - 27g.  To eat them would make a mockery of this whole system.

Maybe, for me, the veggies at breakfast will just have to be something that I force down.  The only result there, however, will be that I will not carry this on when I no longer have to.  This aspect will not be a lifestyle change for me and that's not really in keeping with my holistic approach to this system

Oh well, maybe I'll figure something out.
