Hmm, I'm going with corn, solely because it's like the roided up genetic freak of vegetables.

Eating the top of a potato will kill you though. Tough call really.

It's like onion, but without layers. Weak. Pathetic.

Cabbage. There is no downside to it, can be eaten raw or cooked, healthy as fuck for you, stands up to long cooking and/or all kinds of sauces or dressings, is an ingredient in hundreds and hundreds of dishes, can be grown in a wide range of climates.

It's like a concentrated onion. I could take a bite out of an onion. It would suck, but I could deal with it. Taking a bite out of a Garlic Bulb will make you take a knee.

>>9760940
Cabbage basically dissolves if cooked too long or too hot.

>>9760921
It's was good choice when it was scaring those Paleo-kids ands Atkinsns. But now it's kinda meh. Even proudest believers cheat with sweet potato, which is as far from potato as lizards are from dinosaurs. Just a filler.

Sweet Potatoes aren't Potatoes?

>>9760943
It doesn't dissolve. It's too fibrous for that. It just cooks down. I've made many a cabbage soup over the years, and it's never "dissolved".

>>9760940
Stupid unsatisfying texture.Tastes like a shoe on itself...

>>9760942
Would you cry just from watching a garlic?

>>9760946
Nope. They're a tuber, but they're not part of the same plant family. Potatoes are from the nightshade family and the tops/stems/sprouts are poisonous. Sweet potatoes grow along a vine, and you can eat the leaves like you would spinach.

>>9760950
That's pretty much what I meant. If I make a soup with the stuff and I let it get too hot, I end up with a goopy mess.

>>9760951
>unsatisfying texture
What kind of huge pussypants doesn't like coleslaw?

Cabbage. Europe and thus the west was founded on cabbage. Potato is nice but we'd never have reached the potatoes without cabbage

Butternut squash

Idk what your doing to your cabbage, but you must be doing something very wrong.

>>9760960
That would happen to any vegetable, wouldn't it?

>>9760972
I add all the vegetables aside from the potatoes at pretty much the same time and the cabbage is always the first and only thing to completely fall apart. I should start adding it towards the end.

>>9760963
>coleslaw
Hmm. You know. You are wright. It can be satisfying in presence of fatty stuff. I would make one tommorow.

>>9760981
>start adding it towards the end.

I agree, you definitely should. It's hardy, but it's still basically a green. You wouldn't want to add spinach or broccoli at the start of a recipe either.

>>9760913
I dunno if most. But daikon raddish is fucking amazing. It's like sweet, crunchy and umami. Behaves nice. You can even sculpt some shit from it or train your anal muculature like with no other vegetable. I like it.

>>9760987
No. You WANT spinach at the start. And cook broccoli in a microwave not adding anywhere. Whats wrong with you?

>>9760998
>cook broccoli in a microwave

>>9760942
Thats definitely not true. Garlic has a very distinct taste compared to onions. I know they play along well but if you think they are the same you should have your taste buds examined asap.

>>9760942
shallots, bro. I had had things with them before but never tried raw. Ate a slice the other day while cooking and my sinuses starting to sting.

Kakarot

>>9761010
what's wrong with that? it's unironically the second-best preparation after roasting

>>9761010
What else? Boiled broccoli sucks and looses color. Fried broccoli is hideous. The only way not to dry the shit out of it and not make it a watery snot is to microwave. You get a soft but intact and pretty broccoli. You can steam it, but it's too much work and result would be worse.

Only when you overcook it.

Broccoly. Its power is maximum.

Underground vines?

We don't speak of him.

>>9761422
Basically yes. The green part grows on top of the ground, obviously.

Broccoli and cauliflower because it makes mams cum taste sweet and bitches love sweet cum.

Biologically speaking, there's no such thing as a vegetable.

However, homosexuals are an easily documented phenomena.
