Artichokes…
Don’t know what they’re all about, but I’ve tried a pickled one recently and that’s the last time I’ll be putting one of those anywhere near my plate.
Artichokes are like the crab of the plant world but a lot less rewarding. Better not try to eat one due to hunger as you’ll be more hungry after an hour of scraping that little bit of flesh of the leaves.
whatever rhubarb is it can f**k right off, now that i think about it
Turnip…
That is all…
Lots of hate for celery?
While I am not into scoping cream cheese or peanut butter with celery sticks…
How do you make a mirepoix without it? or a stew, chicken soup, braised lamb shanks, ossobuco or beef bourguignon…
Bagna cauda is also good with celery. People need to do some de-ribbing around here. I was at some Greek supermarket recently and saw a jar of dried celery leaves on the herb shelf which since I have been using a lot.
Yup… carrot, onion and celery are the base of most stuff I cook from scratch such as stews, soups, pasta sauces etc
peas, Peas, PEAS!!
I’m flattered to be cooked with such an enthusiastic weirdo but combined and over indulged we could potentially cause IBS.
Exactly and celery is in a lot of good sauces, sometimes as a “secret” ingredient…
I also really like bell peppers but they are way better from the farmers’ market, because the store ones are often encased in “food grade wax” which is not a vegetable but is something I definitely don’t like.
I did not know eggplant was a fruit. Now I hate it more. Just because.
Is that the seaweed that supposedly tastes like bacon but very much doesn’t?
Possibly it is very salty like bacon. Sadly bacon is lovely salty juicy meat but this tastes like eating an old shoe
The worst has got to be zucchini/squash. Makes me want to gag everytime it gets snuck into my food
I think if one vegetable had to be removed from the mothership ark fleeing a doomed earth it would have to be the onion. I loved pickled onions when I was younger but nowadays I find their presence in anything somewhat offensive and I’m pretty sure they give me headaches, Many people are allergic to them, apparently.
Shrek strongly disagrees
I was dupped into buying a bag of it which is sitting in a cupboard here and found it too salty to even add to miso soup.
same here. Not that I don´t like it at all, but the whole thing is too much. A tiny bit of it is really nice to spice up soups, salads or whatever. Fennel only makes sense to me when you cook for many many people.
I shave fennel very thin on a mandoline, dress with olive oil, sherry vinegar, salt and pepper, and have it as a side salad.
I go the opposite way with fennel: the bomb only chopped and cooked for hours in soups or pot beans. Fronds are good in a bouquet garni.
