In the play it was to show commonality between classes., that it didn't matter one's station, they're all in this thing together. <br /><br />Originally the Welsh soldiers put a leek on their hat to distinguish themselves from the English. Shakespeare turned that around to show commonality.<br /><br />Leeks were poor people's food. <br />Chip Ahoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597726289890879627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-66412944433351206792016-09-28T19:18:14.431-04:002016-09-28T19:18:14.431-04:00Personally ever since I started taking water pills...Personally ever since I started taking water pills I enjoy a good leek.

Wow, the speeches about leeks in Henry V really are great stuff! Just google Henry V leeks and you'll see. One guy wears a leek in his hat and another guy promises to beat him about the head for that affront. Or something like that. Don't really understand all the passion about leeks but the Shakespearian language is ALIVE MAN, ALIVE.ricpichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321511130788764861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-19632168477325581272016-09-28T13:38:21.553-04:002016-09-28T13:38:21.553-04:00I also love the use of a leek as a prop in Henry V...I also love the use of a leek as a prop in Henry V.

I make the potato/leek soup, my bride makes the chili. <br /><br />When onions are cooked, I have no problem. Raw onions kill me. We are at the end of tomato season. I make a very basic tomato salad w/ leeks, fresh basil and oregano, olive oil and vinegar. The leeks only need to sit in the vinegar for 30 minutes for them to be agita free for me. Some crusty peasant Eyetalian bread, salami, cheese, and tomato salad is a go to meal in the summer.ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-39885606129694328242016-09-28T10:02:01.996-04:002016-09-28T10:02:01.996-04:00If Chip opened a restaurant, I would eat there and...If Chip opened a restaurant, I would eat there and order the corn whatsit he just showed.<br /><br />Leeks are way better than onions in a New England clam chowder. For a good basic potato soup base that can be the start of many other variations of soup my go-to recipe is Julia Child's Potato Leek Soup Dust Bunny Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115422951538885247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-23231899659461822102016-09-28T08:33:46.338-04:002016-09-28T08:33:46.338-04:00If only one could replace the intolerant with some...If only one could replace the intolerant with something as benign as coconut milk.The Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354536924604187137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-89052118059838416572016-09-28T08:30:47.130-04:002016-09-28T08:30:47.130-04:00I am going to try this review except I am going to...I am going to try this review except I am going to substitute coconut milk for the lactose intolerant.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-2792309259306345942016-09-28T08:28:48.248-04:002016-09-28T08:28:48.248-04:00Leeks are a very underrated veggie.
