I am so evil because I love love love heart of palm and did you know that to procure heart of palm, one must kill a baby palm tree? I am a tree hugger, so you can imagine how gut wrenching it is for me when I get my tooth set for heart of palm on a salad. I am literally slicing up the heart of a poor baby tree just to make my salad a wee bit fancier.

But I would also like to let you know that, according to Wikipedia, another name for heart of palm is "burglar's thigh." Somehow I feel less bad about eating the thigh of a burglar than the tender, delicious heart of a baby tree. And now you know a little more about me.
