I try not to sneer, but may sigh from time to time. (G)

Sometimes better or worse than you took it for?

I'd be leaving most of them behind.

I've not done that but don't want to risk it with my blood sugar levels.

 ML>       Title: Endive, Beet And Red-onion Salad
 ML>  Categories: Salads
 ML>       Yield: 4 servings

 ML>     1/2 lb Raw Beets, trimmed                  1 tb Red Wine Vinegar
 ML>       3    Heads of Belgian Endives, md        3 tb Vegetable oil
 ML>       1    Red onion                           4 tb Finely Chopped
 ML> Parsley       1 tb Dijon Mustard

Looks interesting. I've never bought endive nor eaten it (that I know
of) but am quite familiar with everything else.
