>pointless food

is this a new meme

your life

corn is literally in 90% of the shit people eat

>>11036625
*shit Americans eat

>>11036633
*shit that obsessed faggots will complain about

Cabbage

Brussel sprouts

>>11036613
corn on the orb

>>11036613
corn is up there, but I think cauliflower is done now that we discovered broccoli

>>11036647
>Cabbage
you shut your whore mouth, fucking plebeian

>>11036613
For me, it's okra, a garbage "vegetable" that people either eat fried with hot sauce or in a stew with spices to mask how bland and pointless it is.

Cooked in the husk and rubbed with a little herb butter and pepper? Wooo! That’s good eatin, boy

>>11036613
literally should just stop being sold and keep focusing on corn syrup

>>11037205
This

When recipes call for okra I know I can omit it since it’s just rubbish pricey (at least here) vegetable.

cabbage is basically lettuce but tastes like shit

>>11036613
lol! corn is reddit lmao

>>11036613
Pointless? Idk, but fresh picked sweet corn, briefly steamed or grilled so the kernels arent mushy but explode little bursts of sweet corn juice when you bite it is fantastic. Having said that, sweet corn is one of those vegetables that loses flavor and nutrition very rapidly after picking, so that may be your issue.

ATTENTION CORN ON THE COB HATERS: your opinion is invalid. That Is All™

Cabbage is the only food I can think of that I can't eat.
I've disliked some veggies in the past like spinach, mushrooms, silver beat and pumpkin but I've been able to find ways to enjoy eating them. Cabbage can fuck off.

>>11037413
After I wrote this I remembered coleslaw exists, I like coleslaw.

>>11037207
Isn't herb butter too fancy for you folk

>>11036613
Corn is evil and needs to stop existing

>>11037463
huh?

>>11037175
serves an essential purpose as a kiddy filter

>>11036613
it's used to feed cows which get us delicious steaks.

>>11037207
>Cooked in the husk
How would you recommend that folks go about this?

Can I just boil the cunt for half an hour or so?

>>11037433
>the Arizona redneck side of my family
Yes
>the New Orleans redneck side
No

>>11037513
Just snip a bit of the fuzzy top off, put em on a pan in a 400 or so oven. Cook around 15 minutes/once the husk is getting brown in parts and you smell corn. Wait a couple minutes to shuck, it’ll be hot.
The important thing is getting the fresh corn. Boiling will work fine, but in the husk is my favorite method. You can do this in an outdoor grill too.

>>11036647
Boy I make some bomb ass cabbage n noodles

>>11036613
Nope. corn isn’t even good for livestock feed. It lives your meat with that disgusting GMO acorn infused taste. A reason why American beef is the worst in the world.

>>11037509
American beef is shit because of corn feed. You want quality steak you feed it grass and only grass

>>11037526
Thank you friend.
For any other Euros / Bongs, that's just over 200C.
I had quite literally never eaten corn on the cob in my life until last week, when someone told me to try it with a little butter, salt and pepper. I've been eating them daily ever since.

>>11037536
>dumbass talking out of his ass

all countries finish off their beef with grain, you don't know shit about the industry and are falling for made up shit that the EU creates to justify higher prices on their meat.

>>11037560
GRAIN not disgustingly sweet and nausea inducing GMO corn. American beef is putrid

>>11037570
>implying livestock is fed sweet corn and not dent corn

>>11037570
As if you could tell a difference, it's obvious you know nothing about the industry and are just another one of those brainwashed idiots who think that just because they pay more for something it's better. EU meat isn't better, it's just that the farmers over there have created a regulatory market where the EU can dictate the minimum prices, you are getting screwed over and simply accept that "it's a better product" instead of actually thinking about it because you are a moron.

>>11036613
As a vegetable I don't really see much worth. If you like it on it's own, hot with butter or something, alright. But attempting to incorporate it as a vegetable is always a sorry experience. It doesn't make anything better, just adds (in my opinion) unsightly yellow chunks that are often harder to break down than the food surrounding it. So it doesn't really fit in.

Corn products on the other hand are often quite good or useful. Polenta in its various forms, cornflour, and I'm sure some others are very practical and have a variety of uses where they fit just nicely.

>>11037581
>>implying that the idiots on this site even know that different types of corn exist

>>11037584
Not euro americuck. I live in Canada where I have access to subpar American beef everyday and I can tell you with certainty your beef stinks

>>11037584
>As if you could tell a difference

I agree with you that a lot of products are just overpriced bullshit for morons, but that statement is a load of shit. The difference in taste between grass-fed, grain-fed, and corn-fed is huge. An animal's diet has a massive effect on the flavor of its meat (and dairy products). Whether or not you even like the difference in taste is subjective. So is the question as to whether or not you think it's worth paying more for. But to claim the difference doesn't exist is fucking idiotic. though the difference has nothing to do with US vs EU vs other countries, they all have both cheap factory farmed meat as well as expensive heritage meat. Here in the US I could go to walmart if I wanted cheap shit or I could go to the butcher across the street and get local grass-fed beef.

>>Durr why do you morons pay like $300 for a new PS4Pro, just buy a used Gamecube, it's the the same thing.

>>11037613
Yes there is a difference in grass fed and grain fed, but guess what? All countries raise grass fed and grain fed beef, I was replying to a poster that said all American beef tastes like shit, but guess what? Most American beef, just like most beef in the rest of the world, is raised in a pasture, then finished off with grain. You can get grass fed beef in America as well, it's like some people think that the US is the only place that has grain fed beef which is moronic.

Corn is good to eat if you want to clean out your colon

>>11037607
I'm an amerilard who buys whole pork belly's to cure my own bacon and can say unequivocally Canadian belly has a superior lean to fat ratio over even local pasteured pork. Sadly my supplier quit carrying it (fucking stupidass tariffs) but I found a place with Polish belly's that while not as good as Canadian are still far superior to american. Sad really.

Bitter melon.

>>11037640
nice head cannon americaclap, except i wouldn't eat american beef if you paid me

>>11037607
I thought there was a growing movement to boycott amerilard imported food in Canada. Fwiw, I hope it succeeds and you bring them to their knees.

>>11038016
Damn

>>11037536
careful partner, you're liable to trigger a 350lb "cowboy" who will defend his fat-as-he-is corn fattened cattle to the death

Letucce. LITERALLY FUCKING FILLER.
Shit is not good, and can only get as good as your salt/vinegar/oil/dressing allows it. Literally just there for a crunchy texture.

Just replace lettuce with fuck I don't know, Spinach? And every recipe will improve a ten fold
>>11037570
>Beef is feed with corn produced for human comsuption
Man you anti GMO kiddies sure are fucking retarded

>>11036613
Nutritionally? Probably not. From a taste and culinary perspective? Anything with a unique flavor or texture isn't fucking useless, retard. Popcorn is literally as good, if not better, than any number of highly processed bullshit snacks like chips, crackers, or cheese puffs, and it's just a fucking seed that's heated in oil and salted.

From an economic standpoint, you literally wouldn't have cinemas that are profitable without cheap snacks like popcorn. We might not have half the kino we have if popcorn didn't exist. Pointless? Fuck off, retard.

>>11036613
Corn isn't native to earth, well not the corn we have today.

>>11039500
>>Beef is feed with corn produced for human comsuption

only subhumans and beaners consider glorified weeds like corn 'fit for human consumption'.

>>11036613
Salt

>>11039539
Space corn?

>>11039500
The texture of raw spinach isn't as good if that's what you're after. It also leaves a weird feeling on my teeth and makes it feel like they're grinding on each other too much. There are also different kinds of lettuces too, with some being more nutritious than others, but even iceberg lettuce isn't totally devoid of nutrition.

>>11039548
Native Americans got knowledge of crops from some outside source. The Hopi Indians talk of meeting a man from the stars who brought them knowledge. Corn went through a very odd transformation into the corn we know today.

You will literally die if you don't eat salt.

>>11039544
Shit man, where do you live that they don't consume corn? That stuff is literally everywhere in one way or another.

>>11039579
Yet there are people who don't eat salt in their diet and still live.

>>11039589
You really, REALLY misjudge how much salt you're consuming then.
Low consumption, regardless how extreme=/=none

>>11039589
Maybe no added salt, but it’s very difficult to find foods with absolutely no sodium or chloride

>>11039589
Not possible fuckwit, you will literally die of electrolyte imbalance with 0 salt in your diet.

>>11039559
Injuns are aliens? I thought they were retarded Asians.

i don't understand how you could hate corn. it's the same tier as potato: absolutely delicious and versatile.

>>11039589
>sugar and carbs are bad!
You'll die if you don't get either
>salt is bad!
You'll die without it
>fat is bad for you!
It's the best source of calories, and arguably the most essential dietary macro

Any other essential nutrients you want to pile on as example?

>>11039626
>potato, the food in arguably one of the most poisonous plant families.
>has a glycemic index that can theoretically exceed glucose
>reproduced almost exclusively vegetatively (clones) in order to ensure a uniform McDonald's french fry, making it super vulnerable to disease

>Corn
>The New World crop that was grown in the continent simply because we hadn't figured out how to grow cereal grains well yet.
>Most of its biomass is indigestible cellulose
>Worse ethanol source than sugar cane; would be a net-loss of energy without subsidies
>Lacks most of the nutrients found in whole cereal grains
>Grown specifically for animal feed in almost all cases. Sucks at this role, and still requires other feedstocks without disgusting and unnatural surgeries or chemicals.

From a food standpoint, I like the taste of both. There's nothing wrong with corn and potatoes as food. At the same time, corn is what keeps the sugar producers down south of us from cucking us economically. If you hate corn syrup, you want the brownskins to win.

Has anyone said Bean sprouts because bean sprouts.

cassava

>>11036647
Cabbage is a quintessential filler-food. Some of us are non-fatasses who know how to fill out a meal.

Also, find me a dish that is exactly like stuffed cabbage that isn't cabbage.

>>11037536
Everyone is suddenly an expert rancher in this day and age. A purely "grass fed" cow would fucking starve. Modern hayfeed is all sorts of different legumes, grasses, and herbaceous plants. Adding grains as a supplement is perfectly healthy. Believe it or not, most herbivores eat very balanced diets by human standards. It's just that they can handle much cruder forms of carbs like cellulose due to their unique gut flora and anatomies.

>>11037205
Sauteed okra is great, fuck you.

>>11039500
Young spinach is too tender raw, and doesn't cook well because it reduces to almost nothing. It doesn't have a satisfying crunch.

Mature spinach leaves are too tough to eat raw or on a salad. They're on par with mustard greens or even kale. Seeing as nobody cooks lettuce, you're retarded for seeing spinach as a substitute. what's wrong with filler for texture? The "it's mostly water!" meme applies somewhat, but there's still enough fiber and such to make it worth eating from a health standpoint.

Also, don't eat spinach daily. It has very high oxalic acid levels, which can contribute to a certain kind of kidney stone, especially if you're genetically more likely to have them. Spinach is basically as bad as lettuce nutritionally when you consider 99% of its calcium is not bioavailable.

>>11039960
First actual sensible post. Shit is literal fucking poison.

>>11036613
>He's never had smoked corn with honey butter

Interesting, everyone ganging up on the veg. I nominate lutefisk. Gag me.

>>11039998
pickled okra is wonderful also.

>>11040025
Cassava cake is great.

>>11040034
>coating sugar with sugar and fat

kys

iceburg lettuce.

a real pointless food

>>11037413
celery made me throw up as a kid.

the whole point of eating food is for nutrition amirite?

I thought lettuce was a nutritious food.

I agree tho corn is pleb and you can see it in your shit

Corn is delicious, cheap, and it has a decent bit of fiber.

Not pointless at all.

>>11037513
You shouldn’t boil corn and certainly not for 30 minutes—boil a pot of water, turn off heat, add corn, cover and wait 12 minutes... it’s ready!

>>11036647
you meant to say iceberg lettuce

>>11039934
>you hate corn syrup, you want the brownskins to win
>thinks fascist banana republic cane sugar plantations aren't owned by neo-colonial white megacorporations
You're either the poster child for naivete or a Monsanto/Bayer bootlicker.

Man I miss mescaline

>>11039559
>>11039548
>>11039539
remember that corn is flat out indigestible
and turns into something completely different when super heated

Anyone who hates corn has never had that shit grilled with some salt and butter

The Hopi's religion is still not fully documented as they will not permit outsiders to observe a certain subset of their ceremonies nor will they disclose what they are or what they accomplish.
