Chapter 1: What fresh produce tips does Produce Pete share?
You're listening to Comedy Central. Let's take a quick trip to our local green grocer, Produce Pete Steve Carell, with the latest fruit and vegetable news.
Thanks, John. Last week, I showed you how to turn fresh avocados into racamole, the in-your-face corn chip compliment. Unfortunately, when you're out of avocado, it's the pits, the avocado pits. The large pit, about the size of a healthy adult testicle, will grow into a great house plant. I always need plants around my house because my cat, Mr. Boots, is very territorial.
All you do is insert three toothpicks like so, and balance it in a hyacinth vase with the root end submerged.
Chapter 2: How can you grow an avocado plant at home?
Now, you keep it out of direct sunlight, and it'll sprout in about four to six weeks. I put one aside about two months ago, so let's take a look. That doesn't appear much different then. Actually, it kind of looks like it's dying. Oh, damn it, Mr. Boots. Jesus Christ. God forbid I should have any nice plants, right?
Well, if you want to see what a healthy avocado plant looks like, go to my website, www.pdeucep-esquirell.tv. And there's a picture of one along with the usual assortments of recipes and tips. And ignore the link for Mr. Boots' thought of the day. That's going to be taken down real soon. That's all for now. Until next time, remember, leafy greens preempt cancerous growths.
Let's check in with Produce Pete Steve Carell with a very special Thanksgiving edition.
Thanks, John. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and this pilgrim is feeling pretty proud of his succotash. Now, it sounds funny, but it tastes... All right. It's a traditional soup made of corned beef, fowl, and salt pork. Yummy yum. Add some turnip, potato, and boiled beans. Now make sure your turnip is a green-topped turnip.
You can use a purple top and a pinch, but under no circumstances should you ever use a yellow rutabaga. I don't recommend it there, pilgrim. I know some of you think I'm some kind of joke, but you know, you use a yellow rutabaga and you will ruin the succotash. You will ruin Thanksgiving. I've ruined a few. I'm not a, I'm not a joke.
Many people are searching, in fact, for that perfect holiday recipe. Well, our own Produce Pete is here to help.
Greetings, food eaters. Sometimes I'm faced with a challenge of what to serve my vegan friends when entertaining for the holidays. Now, vegans don't eat meat or any animal products, and it can be a ho-ho pain in the ass. Now, my vegan friend Brianna and her life partner Jordan have served me lots of strange vegetables up at their commune, like fiddleheads, New Zealand spinach, and chard. Mm.
charred. So this year I'm going exotic with Steve's nut and seed loaf. It's actually very easy. All you need is eight ounces bulgur wheat, two cups boiling water, three tablespoons shoyu, six ounces pistachio nuts shelled. That might take you a little bit of time. Six ounces pine kernels, eight ounces blanched almonds. I believe that means you soak it in something.
Six ounces of cashew nuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds. You have got to be kidding. You know what? Why don't we just flash those ingredients up on the screen? Got that? Good. Now, hopefully you're taping this and you'll just freeze that screen. You know what? Let's just flash the preparation instructions for you as well. It's just that easy.

Chapter 3: What is a traditional Thanksgiving succotash recipe?
Produce Pete Steve Carell celebrates Hanukkah. Let's have a look.
Damn it.
You're cheating. I know you are, you little jerk. Oh, we had fun that day. By the way, the video is also for sale on my website, www.producepete.com. That's in Sweden. Someone decided to squat my.com. And I understand there are many units left. You know, why did I do all these product tie-ins?
Media guys use all these fancy phrases like synergy and profile and leveraging my brand identity, but I don't get how I end up on the hook for a warehouse full of plastic crap. Man, I should have had a lawyer look at those contracts. I am so screwed. These things, these things aren't selling. This is all crap. Happy Hanukkah, everybody. I look like a pirate.
Well, it's a presidential election year, so I figured it would be a perfect time to pay tribute to our third president and avid horticulturalist, Thomas Jefferson. He was a passionate vegetable gardener and is credited with introducing broccoli to the United States. In a way, he was the Produce Pete Steve Carell of his day, except he didn't live across the street from a taxi garage.
Never had to take old cups of coffee out of his window boxes either, I venture to guess. Anyway, our recipe today comes from Jefferson's Kitchen, and I call it TJ's Okra Soup. All you need is two cups of chopped okra. You boil it up for about 30 minutes with these delicious ingredients. Now, this was a favorite dish around Monte Kelo.
With all this gardening and founding fathering, it is amazing Thomas Jefferson still had the time for romance with Sally Hemings. It was a different time then. He does it with his help and ends up on the nickel. I get caught giving a massage, just a massage, to a former intern, Jessica, and I have to go to all these seminars or I lose my job. But hey, enjoy your Thomas Jefferson soup.
I'll be eating mine all alone at an appropriate distance from some third-year Barnard co-ed who's got more pull around here than I do! Let's see her try to ask me for a letter of recommendation. Not gonna happen! I'm wearing a powdered wig.
Fruits and vegetables. To most of us, they're little more than foodstuffs. But to one man, they're a way of life. I speak, of course, of our own produce Pete, Steve Carell.

Chapter 4: How do you prepare a vegan nut and seed loaf?
Chop up some cabbage, cucumbers, and some other veggies of your choice in a large mason jar. Now, add a mixture of two parts water, one part vinegar, some pepper, a couple cloves of garlic. Now, traditionally, you are to bury the concoction for up to two weeks underground. I tried this, but I guess they're burying power lines. Now, is that the... Because I got a bit of a shock.
Not as big shock as a hospital nearby that lost power, but a shock nonetheless. I did finally get it buried in the front yard, and here it is. There it is. It's been there for about a month. Let's, um, shall we? Let's try it. Okay, let's shall. Here we go, and... Son of a bitch! It's like putting a little bit of Korea in your kitchen. Let's just get that lid back on. Okay, well that is kimchi.
It's a delicious treat for outdoor meals or well-ventilated dining rooms. Is my nose bleeding?
God! A certain holiday is coming on Friday. Here with his uniquely fruit and vegetable-based slant on that occasion, we turn to our old standby, Produce Pete Steve Carell.
Good evening. I am Produce Dracula, and I am here to talk to... Okay, that's enough. And it's not for that. Yep, it's Halloween. And nothing says Halloween like caramel apples. I guess pumpkins, maybe. Actually, yeah. Pumpkins are actually more iconic, but we're talking about caramel apples. This recipe is so easy.
In no time, you will find yourself making it halfway through one of these before feeling kind of queasy. All you need are six medium-sized apple, six wooden popsicle sticks. You can get those at your local hobby shop in the stick and dowel aisle. Half a pound of light-colored caramels. You melt them. You dip in the apples. You know what?
You pretty much have to be an idiot not to know how to make these. You know, back when I owned a home, I used to love to decorate it up for Halloween and invite the neighbor kids over and take them down into my basement. With parental consent, for the most part. I would turn off the lights and I'd have a big bowl of grapes, and that would be Frankenstein's eyes.
And then for the next hour and a half, I would edutain the kids about the real evils of drugs and premarital relations and Satan in general. Well, it was really only for that one year that they came. Actually, they did come back the next year to throw dog feces at my house. And I believe they did that again the next year. And there was a third year in there as well.
Now on Halloween, I sit in my apartment with the lights out and I eat a caramel apple. Happy Halloween.
