This week Alan and Chris (joined very briefly by Victor) go gardening and discuss the old view of Parsnips in ELT, and discuss what the new Parsnips should look like, introduced by Aleksandra Popovski in her MaWSIG blog last year. And Alan gets left with the hardest question he's ever had to face - which to live without, Jamón or Queso?! We we discuss why the old Parsnips of Politics, Alcohol, Religion, Sex, Narcotics, -isms, and Pork should be universally replaced by Peace, Action, Representation, Self-care, Non-violence, Inquiry and Perseverance.
