tshile Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Brussels sprouts are awesome. Loved them since being a kid. artichoke is also great kale. Kale sucks. Anyone who says it’s like spinach is a liar and cannot be trusted. also the stuff people substitute cauliflower for things and then pretend they didn’t are not to be trusted either. No, it doesn’t taste like mashed potatos. It tastes like mashed cauliflower. It’s not even close. If I wanted mashed cauliflower, I would have asked for mashed cauliflower. Asshole. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's spinaches less crunchy cousin. Honestly I'm not eating either for the taste more for the vitamins and minerals. Pizza with a cauliflower crust is delicious. 😋 50 minutes ago, dfitzo53 said: I love how this thread became "spout off about random vegetables to anyone who will listen."

TradeTheBeal! Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) The Kale “Caesar” at the Cafe Riggs Penn Quarter is an elite salad. And yes, their Kale is very reminiscent of Spinach. Pro tip, add a crab cake. Edited October 18, 2023 by TradeTheBeal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Fruit is just vegetables plus sugar, so it’s kinda cheating. It’s like putting bacon on other meats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 growing up I always remember buttered corn. man. corn on the cob isn't the same without that butter. best vegetables just off the top of my head corn broccoli is good they always put it in Chinese food too so beef and broccoli, sometimes in general tsos. never understood why kids don't like it. carrots peas okra especially fried eggplant parm 😍 Brussel sprouts are okay. spinach too. don't really try kale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 The cooking book I read, which has high ratings, says the stocks of broccoli have more flavor than the florets now I personally checked it out and agree but my pallet is trash and I don’t trust it. but thought I’d share. Most people seem to cut off and throw away the best parts 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Vegetables are awesome, along side a protein and starch. Kale though, I just can’t do it. My wife gets that kale salad from chick-fil-a and it’s hard for me to even select it in the app. Healthy, shmealthy. As for cauliflower rice, it’s definitely not fooling anyone. However, I make several different variations of fried rice on the Blackstone and tend to go 2/3 actual rice and 1/3 cauli rice and the fam knows no different. Below is my favorite summer edition, lemon pepper chicken and summer veg fried rice with hot honey drizzle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) I don’t mind cauliflower on its own. We steam it like broccoli it’s when they say “cauliflower mashed potato’s” and it’s like - there’s no potato in here, you’re a liar! It’s just mashed up cauliflower. it’s not cauliflower rice. It’s small chunks of cauliflower awful ****ing vegetable can’t exist without stealing other foods’ names on that note if you don’t steam your vegetables ur doing it wrong (in my opinion) Edited October 19, 2023 by tshile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I have been testing vegan options so had cauliflower rice a few months ago. it was okay. chickpea pasta too which IMO is too mushy. Needs the gluten to taste proper. I also have a rice cooker. sometimes I steam broccoli in that or mixed vegetables but IMO the best is using the pan to heat them.

Also, while I like steamed broccoli, I like it better when I take that steamed broccoli and finish it in whatever I’m using to deglaze the pan. 1 hour ago, tshile said: I think I might like vegetables more than fruit.

Fruits are the better tasting plants. Even the ones that aren’t all that sweet. Avocado, tomatoes, and peppers? Fruits. Beans? Also fruits. The list is long but the end result is clear fruits > leaves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because fruits are flowers not leaves. 🤣 Thinking about it more i haven't had brussel sprouts in probably a decade. Y'all say they genetically modified them to taste less bitter? How recently science achieve that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
