Most men enjoy stuffed tomatoes,
prepared in ways not too feminine

matoes or not Is a matter of indi-
Vidual preference. Personally. I
like them peeled and the quickest
way TO accomplish this Is to Skewer

then, If you can get it, some chopped
bacon with shredded cabbage and
minced spring onions also makes
delicious stuffing.
