I am not arguing about vegetables on the internet anon. There is only so low I can go.

>>16329519
Roast and grilled veggies are fucking delicious.

>>16329519
post hand

I have some on my 'za

>>16329519
Grilled asparagus is really tasty though

>>16329519
I'll eat a ton of almost any vegetable simply roasted or steamed as long as there's a bit of lemon or vinegar on it, they really need just a bit of acidity and then they taste great. It's not hard to make a piece of meat taste good as long as you don't severely overcook it but you kind of have to know what you're doing with vegetables and then they really will taste great. I've gotten multiple people who thought they didn't like vegetables to start saying they do after trying some of my dishes.

>>16329519
Veggies are pretty good anon if you do them right. Same as meat desu, can be good or bad. Love me some roasted brussel sprouts

>>16329519
Yeah I've said that a few times this week actually. Go back to eating your plebfeed from McDonald's

>>16329519
Bananas aren’t vegetables dumbaass

>>16329519

You have spoiled your taste-buds to a point where only consume over-processed garbage, kinda sad actually

t. raw vegetables enjoyer

>>16329689
Vegetables just fucking suck, I have my lunch and dinner with a blended salad because drinking it is faster
Vegetables are just bitter and gross, except brocolli and carrots

>>16329519
I love veggies

>>16329519
I just picked a sweet pepper from my garden and ate it. I was amazed at how good it was.

>>16329907
Based

>>16330019
I do too, but I can't stand cucumber. Something about the combination of that texture and taste is supremely off-putting

>>16329813
Post some dishes/recipes. Need technique ideas.

>>16329989
Try not eating shit supermarket veg.

>>16329519
people say it all the time

>>16330049
A lot of it is just technique. I had someone who said they didn't like eggplant parm enjoy mine because I peeled the eggplant and thinly cut it crosswise, while most places cut it lengthwise to save time but it makes the eggplant seem more fibrous. Another person didn't like raw onion until I gave it to them very finely minced which makes it milder than an equal amount cut into bigger pieces.

I get asked to make a few other vegetable dishes pretty often. One is glazed carrots where the person would just dump a ton of brown sugar on the carrots, but instead I steam them and then reduce the leftover liquid with a little butter until it's syrupy and then coat the carrots with it. Really flavorful and naturally sweet. I make a vegetable stew with any kind of mixed vegetables simmered until mostly soft but it's in a sauce made with caramelized onion and stock thickened with dark roux which gives it a lot of flavor.

Not sure if you'd consider beans a vegetable, but I make a basic curry-type dish where I'll simmer the beans with lots of chopped onion, four medium/large onions for a full pound of dry beans. After simmering for long enough the onion basically dissolves and gets sweet. When the liquid for that is mostly reduced and it's getting thicker, I'll melt a couple sticks of butter in a pot and when it's heated I'll add a little bit of cumin/coriander/black pepper. Might seem like a lot of butter but the beans are starchy and not really high in calories so I think it needs it, and it gets served with plain bread or rice. Then I'll add the butter mixture to the beans and let it thicken a little more if it needs to. Season to taste with soy sauce and vinegar, which might sound weird but the soy sauce makes it nice and savory and the vinegar balances out the fat and makes it feel kind of refreshing to eat in a way. Had another person who said they hate curry enjoy eating that.

>>16330534
Also one of my favorite salad dressings is just measuring out the amount of oil I want to use and then adding enough mustard until it'll emulsify. Can't use a super hot mustard for this though. Sometimes I'll add a small amount of grated garlic, black pepper, and/or fish sauce. I like to use it on a big salad with a ton of vegetables and mixed nuts/grated cheese, and I'll just eat a huge serving of that for dinner sometimes with a piece of bread or crackers or something.

>>16329806
The movie Phantom Thread made me obsessed with it.

>>16329695
>There is only so low I can go.
you need to go back

>>16329898
Neither are tomatoes and carrots

>>16329519
wow these vegetables taste so amazing
-me

>>16330534
Thanks, anon. I like the idea of a roux and caramelized onions as a base for a veg soup.

>>16330803
So they're only good when you smother them in a cup of oil?

>>16330813
Boiled meat is disgusting

>>16329519
>said no one ever
I used to think like that until I went to a real restaurant. Dunno what the chef did to make that salad as tasty as it was, but it was well worth the $50.

>>16330827
No it isn't, it's tender and juicy

>>16330813
You wouldn't need nearly a cup of oil to coat that amount of vegetables. Still seems like goalpost shifting though. Completely lean meat isn't really good either.

>>16329519
my food said that

>>16330850
I too love tasteless meat mass

>>16329519
People who know how to cook say that all the time.
I'm sorry you think vegetables are basically steamed broccoli and overboiled brussel sprouts or something.

Most grilled veggies are absolutely delicious.

>>16330831
Probably put enough salt and oil in the dressing.

>>16329519
>wow these vegetables taste so amazing
>said no one ever

>>16329694
Answer the question

>>16330549
I also do this but with balsamic vinegar instead of fish sauce, but that does sound amazing also. A tbsp or two of honey and you've got a better dressing than you could ever buy at the store. So good you don't even really need salad toppings.

>>16329637
Nice (lack) of an unclogged artery.

>>16329637
what was your initial arguments though? "ew veggies yuckie"?

>>16331475
That the series of words "wow these vegetables taste so amazing" has not once been uttered in the entire history of our language.

>>16330799
>carrots
>not a vegetable
what the fuck are they then?

>>16330534
>while most places cut it lengthwise to save time
i've never had eggplant parm anywhere but making it myself and this is unthinkable to me

Truly disgusting that some "people" would do this horrible thing.

>>16329519
Were you raised by actual mountain lions or something?

Plenty of people say this all the time. Most people enjoy vegetables —why are tastelets a thing? Why do people exist who only like taco shells, minced beef, and cheese?????

Just buy the soyboi packets of soylent if you're not even going to eat proper food.

>>16329732
This

>>16329519
>>wow these vegetables taste so amazing
They sure do after caramelizing in the oven.

>>16330799
They’re all in the kingdom Plantae, ya dildo, and nutritionally they are vegetables.

>>16330813
And yoy eat your meat raw or boiled, unseasoned I presume?

Stop baiting a fight with people who keep a well-balanced diet —you are likely to be turned into...well, minced meat.

>>16329813
>I've gotten multiple people who thought they didn't like vegetables to start saying they do after trying some of my dishes.
It's probably because people boil vegetables to death. What people need to understand is that all vegetables have sugar in them; they are simply complex carbohydrates. Roast them in the oven and their natural sweetness comes out.

>>16330813
Are you retarded? The picture has "roasted" in its name.

The only reason you don't like them is because you consume processed sugary junk food all day.

>>16332493
People who write thid shit has read some buzzfeed post about taxonomy and have not understood that they are still classified as vegetables.

Whether biologists classify bananas as herbs, berries or "fruit", it doesn't matter because restaurateurs, chefs, gastronomy critics, and regular consumers all classify it as fruit.

What biologists say has no bearing in the kitchen.
What law books say has no bearing in the kitchen.

Potatoes can be rhyzomes to biologists, veggies to USA (so school lunches serve veggies), and tubers to chefs, all at the same time.

Don't have opinions without context.

>>16332883
Roasting is nice but even steaming it for long enough will make things like broccoli and cabbage sweeter. The problem with boiling is that a lot of the sweetness and flavor gets leached from the vegetables into the water and then the water gets thrown out, so you end up with bland mush.

>>16329694
he fat

Veggies can be nice but no one knows how to cook them aside from steaming the fuck outo f them.

>>16332896
shit up nerd

>>16334115
Roasted broccoli is fucking amazing, especially with a little char on the tops from using the broiler.

>>16331489
that's retarded ofc someone somewhere has said this. you just typed it out retard.

>>16334115
I fucking love a steam mix of veggies. Carrots especially

>>16329519
>imagine being cookelets that they can't even season vegetables properly
Begone manchild

>>16329519
I said it once
About red peppers
Zucchini
Sweet potatos
Lots of things. Carrots

>>16329989
>Vegetables are just bitter
The only veggies that should taste bitter are spinach, zucchini, and eggplant skins. There is legitimately something wrong with your or the food you are buying. Or you are literally 10 years old, in which case you need to leave.

love bell peppers, asparagus, cucumbers, tomatoes, mushrooms and red onions raw.

Eggplant and carrots cooked only.

>>16329732
Where'd you get a picture of my dick bro?

ITT shit taste and people who dont cook

>>16329519
>never eaten sugar snap peas straight off the vine

>>16330042
I honestly find people like you strange.

>>16332896
I call em root veggies. We do things simple in Aus, partly because we are retarded.
