Day 365: Musical Veg

Ludgate Hill.  A restaurant with a board outside (see right).  Yes.  A MELODY of vegetables.  Two possibilities here.  The first is that this is meant to read 'medley'.  The second is that this is a flagrant attempt at reframing vegetables in a new and more appealing light.  Either possibility is good - but I really hope the second one is the true one. 

It wouldn't be the first time mixed veg have been rebranded.  As in 'Panache of Vegetables'.  This is where the veg is not boring at all, but flamboyant and dashing, and probably wearing velvet and a green carnation.  (AKA gay West End veg.) 

A 'Melody of Vegetables' is where, again, the veg is not boring at all, because it sings to you.  Like Gareth Malone or Katherine Jenkins.  (AKA family-friendly veg.)

Musical veg.  I want this taken further.  Give me a Descant of Peas.  A Madrigal of Broccoli.  And a Potato Basso Profundo.   

Just One Veg
Singing in the darkness,
All it takes is One Veg,
Shout it out and let it ring.
Just One Veg,
It takes that One Veg,
And every Veg will sing!
