never entered my head not to eat tomato skins -
|
|
even surgeons have their funny little ways. The stomach wall secretes acid, I wouldn't have thought that a tomato skin would last long....
|
|
You do know the quick way to remove skins I take it. Pour on boiling water, and after about 30 seconds, cold water. The skins just slide off.

I LOVE em! Ate them all my life and at 76 feel like an 18 year old (can't get one though) I have a greenhouse full each year and in season must eat at LEAST 1/2 a pound a day....Got a big stomach but think it's a beer belly... Could be a build up!!!!

Could be a build up
An autopsy revealed that Mr jontywino was 17% human and 83% tomato.

Sounds good, less ability to digest food so fewer calories taken up. Hmm wonder if I can market that somehow.
|
|
jno, Does that mean he is the equivalent of meat and two veg?
|
|
actually, a tomato is a fruit, but as they say...
'Knowledge' is knowing that a tomato is a fruit
<br/>
'Wisdom' is not putting it in a fruit salad

Since I've no way of finding out for myself, I'll have to rely on the surgeon's word for it!
|
|
I think this ranks with sweetcorn - the greatest colon cleanser known to man (or woMan)
|
|
i eat them all and love them ...
|
|
I've never seen *** sticking to a blanket....
|
|
Personally I've had no experience how s**t sticks to a blanket - does that mean easy or difficult to remove ?
|
|
One of the kids once took his nappy off whilst in his cot. There was sh*t all over him, the cot, the walls and his teddy, but strangely none on his blanket
|

Sweetcorn and tomato skins are not far off pure cellulose which we can't process. If our appendix was larger we'd be OK, as it is we pass the skins straight through our systems largely untouched.

That's so funny, Mrs_Overall!
I know someone who used to work at a sewage plant. He told me that when the lorry emptied out the grit removal bit of the pipe (I can't remember the correct name for it) it would be dumped into an on-site field, whereupon all the pheasants for miles around would swoop down for their daily diet of peas, sweetcorn, nuts, of the eating variety amongst nuts of the DIY variety, sand etc.
He didn't mention tomato skins, so maybe your surgeon friend is correct!
P.S. I apologise to anyone who is eating.

Might it adhere rather more like jam to a carpet?
So few people have blankets these days that the comparison given by your surgeon might be hard to envisage.
Perhaps he was referring to the tomato skin's propensity to spiral into a little stick, which might then wedge in the wrinkly bits and pouchy doohickeys that develop in your intenstine with age.

Sorry EcclesCake, just read your post again. The tomato skins must be smaller and go through another sieve or perhaps pheasants don't like them...
|
|
If you really want something that goes straight through unaltered, those polystyrene beads out of a bean bag are your best bet.
