MooCowlian posted:This is more of a least favourite thing, but what is up with boiled potatoes? Why do people think that weird stuff which is solid and then instantly mush, wrapped in a think skin entirely at odds with the texture of the insides, is anything but the most horrible lovely thing? Please explain. I think you're overboiling your potatoes. Also, salt really helps to bring out the delicious sweet flavor potatoes have.

Did you know that a diet of potatoes and milk is nutritionally complete? They provide all the carbs, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals you need to survive.

Bodies need all kinds of weird poo poo, which is why most fad diets or hilariously stupid poo poo like that Soylent sludge are a terrible idea since they're usually invented by clueless people searching for One Weird Trick to avoid eating like a normal person.

I was eating sweet potatoes before it was cool and also it makes me irrationally angry when people call them yams. Sweet potatoes are so versatile and kick rear end, but honestly just mashed with butter and garlic and brown sugar and cayenne pepper is so loving amazing. I'm not that big into normal potatoes. I don't make them myself, but I enjoy them if they are made for me. They're just pretty dry, I find.

Is this the thread where we ask about confusing foods? If so, please explain cauliflower. Do people eat this for the taste or is it used for something else entirely, like thickening soups, shining shoes, or feeding ducks?

Cauliflower has inoffensive taste at worst (I like it) but really satisfying texture and it's good for you.

I love the taste of califlower when it's done what it does best: absorbed fat and salt in a sauce. Watch the episode of Good Eats where they do cauliflower. It's great.

All you really need to do is get it hot and then immediately stop cooking it. Don't let it get soft and mushy. Same goes for broccoli. As for potatoes, there are two main kinds you get in supermarkets here, one has white skin and is flavourless garbage. The other has pink skin and is slightly yellow inside and is fantastic. Peel them, steam them till they're soft then mash them with butter and a little bit of milk to make sure they're not too dry. If you cut average sized potatoes into quarters then it should take about 20 minutes.

Tatum Girlparts posted:It sounds like it's the cumin doing the owning. No cook worthy of using cumin thinks that cumin or any other individual component owns all on its own. Claiming that it's the cumin sans cauliflower that is tasty as hell is like claiming your muscles do all the lifting without your skeleton. A good dish has all things working together. (cauliflower frankly performs pretty well so long as there's a good amount of oil involved, that poo poo does great when it's fatty) (also i would totally just eat cumin by itself)

Tulip posted:(cauliflower frankly performs pretty well so long as there's a good amount of oil involved, that poo poo does great when it's fatty) Agreed, when I was young we had steamed cauliflower with oil and vinegar. Delicious, but only if you like vinegar I guess. Also, potatoes in any form are awesome.

As a kid I only saw cauliflower as white broccoli. Like, literally, I can't tell the taste apart. As a result now broccoli is one of my favourite vegetables. Thanks, cauliflower! and mom, for making delicious vegetables

When my father was having his radiation therapy for prostate cancer, he couldn't eat anything in the cabbage family for fear that the gas pressure in his colon would rot that poo poo out. I never thought I could miss Brussels sprouts so much, but I did.
