GoodBye Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 How do you know? Reminds me of a line on heard a morning DJ say once. How does a blind person know when their butt's clean? You've never looked at your poop?
LeviF Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 favorite: french fries. not so favorite: stuff other than french fries. (and anything else not deep-fried) You sure you aren't simply Rex Ryan?
Chef Jim Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Cool, I'll give that a try some day. Thanks! And let me know if that turns a hate vegetable into maybe not a love but a really like vegetable. I'm a firm believer in the reason people don't like something is because it was never cooked right.
GoodBye Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 And let me know if that turns a hate vegetable into maybe not a love but a really like vegetable. I'm a firm believer in the reason people don't like something is because it was never cooked right. Sure will. Yes, I would have to agree. I did have some good tasting asparagus once at a nice restaurant. Not sure how they cooked it but it was edible. But, I still generally don't really like to eat it.
DC Tom Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Didn't read the thread. Did anyone answer "Terry Schiavo" yet?
CowgirlsFan Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 I figured, since we already had the fruit thread... Favorites: Asparagus, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower Least favorites: Beets, radicchio, Terry Schiavo Favorites: all of them EXCEPT for sugar snap peas.
Chilly Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Favorite: Peppers (almost any kind), asparagus (raw or lightly cooked), carrots (raw or lightly cooked), celery (raw or lightly cooked), potatoes, corn, snow peas (raw or lightly cooked), green beans (raw or lightly cooked). Least favorite: Sweet potatoes or yams of any kind (they make me puke), cabbage (includes Brussels spouts), ANY pea out of its pod, nearly all "Chinese" vegetables, mushrooms (I really WANT to like them). Exactly my preferences as well. DEAN, GET OUT OF MY HEAD
McBeane Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Didn't read the thread. Did anyone answer "Terry Schiavo" yet? Sage did in the original post, but as a least favorite
Jim in Anchorage Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Sure will. Yes, I would have to agree. I did have some good tasting asparagus once at a nice restaurant. Not sure how they cooked it but it was edible. But, I still generally don't really like to eat it. I bet they peeled it. Night and day difference. I leaned that from James Beard
LewPort71 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Favs, >> Carrots, peas, beans, brocoli , lima beans Non fav, >> Asparagus, beets, Brussel sprouts
BuffaloBud Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Favs - FRESH corn on the cob, asparagus, broccoli. No dislikes.
Britbillsfan Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Favourties: Carrots, Parsnips (love either of them roasted) Least: Courgettes (Zuchini) I tend to grow my own veg in the garden and pretty much anything I do grow would make it onto my favourite list. At the moment I am eating young sprout and broccoli plants I have thinned out as greens. Lovely.
IDBillzFan Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 It's really simple. You cut the eggplant in half, do not peel it, rub it with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast it skin side down until it's very soft. Let it cool, scoop out the "meat" and puree it with lots of garlic, olive oil, lemon and fresh basil. Damn, I'm hungry. And do what with it? Serve it with toast like bruschetta?
The Dean Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 And do what with it? Serve it with toast like bruschetta? Yes, like a caponata.
Chef Jim Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 And do what with it? Serve it with toast like bruschetta? Yes, it makes a good dip with pita chips.
Chef Jim Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Yes, like a caponata. And no, nothing like a caponata.
The Dean Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 And no, nothing like a caponata. Quite a bit of the same ingredients as a classic caponata, it seems.
Chef Jim Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Quite a bit of the same ingredients as a classic caponata, it seems. That's like saying pate is like carnitas because they both contain pork.
el Tigre Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 I like pretty much all vegtables,I can't really think of one I can't stand. A couple favorites I don't see mentioned here, grey squash and favas. Cook the favas in a sauce of olive oil,garlic,onions,cilantro and red chiles. Slice the gray squash and throw it in a pan with onions,tomatoes,cilantro,a little red wine vinegar and olive oil. Damn good.
