The 6th of July. . America (2nd edition)

In honor of the lesser known 6th of July (which is famous for Thomas Jefferson finding the typo "The United Stats of America" in the Declaration of Independence) I would like us to reflect on the concept of medleys in our society. Obviously there are patriotic medleys which effortless flow from one song to another causing people to throw up (just a little in their mouths). I am intrigued by another medley concept. . . .vegetable medleys.

okra, corn and tomatoes. . . . a tribute to the South?

Bacon, lettuce and tomato. . . a tribute to things grown on a farm?

3 bean soup. . . .a tribute to (no brainer) beans?

Pink lemonade, vodka and beer. . . a tribute to getting "naked in the woods"? (I know these are not vegetables but are essential to life)

I am intrigued by this concept and would love to hear of any medleys that y'all think are meaningful in your lives or have touched you in some ways (now giggle and think of all the dirty things that could mean. . .i did).
