Holland of TV New Zealand interviewed Jamie Oliver in his beloved veggie patch and they joked about what to feed your mother-in-law and how vegetables are nature's Viagra, and that small carrots are as good as big carrots because size isn't everything. Watch the six-minute feature and take notes on the following:
