Yep. Mine was bok Choi. But I can understand people not liking the fermented tang.

Kimchi doesn't even really need to be that fermented. I love eating kimchi I made the same day or the next day cuz it's salty and crunchy and spicy but not funky yet.

I've been doing stuffed cucumber kimchi a lot lately and that's a good starter kimchi imo. It doesn't ferment super long and it's nice and crunchy and fresh.

I keep trying kimchi like at least every 2 weeks and I don't like it yet. Kills me hearing about everyone else loving it.

Are you eating it with/on anything or just shoving pieces in your face? If the latter, try it mixed with foods like in ssam or bibimbap or something.

What's funny though is that there's plenty of white ethnic subgroups in America (think Boston Irish, Germans in Wisconsin, Scots-Irish from Appalachia to the Midwest, for instance) who have long traditions of "cruciferous vegetables boiled until really soft, usually with smoked pork in the mix", be it cabbage, red cabbage, kale, etc. So basically this is just stupid American racism when you find people who "don't like" "collard greens."

I cook them the exact same, particularly the flat kale that my CSA (no longer -- they managed to set it up despite COVID, but it's three times as far, on a different day, and 20% more (any two would be OK but all three made it a no-sell in the household)) gave us. Either stewed with a salted pork product or cut nearly chiffonade-thin and stir-fried. Collards are barely tougher and barely more sulfurous, and cost 1/4 as much because racism.

As much as I enjoy kale, I have to admit that Andy Dick had a funny line about it:

"Kale is like spinach... expect hairier and more bitter."

Some people just don't dig on cabbage. me, I love it, I'll eat any preparation of cabbage from any place in the world.

Also, Kimchi can also be a little overwhelming for some people because all of the flavors are turned up to 11 at once

I have nothing against cabbage (or bok choy), it's the flavor of the fermentation I guess. I'll get there!

I did it
I fell victim to the classic blunder.

I had just de-seeded almost a pound of jalapeños and went to bathroom and did not wash my hands first.

We had been hiking earlier today and it's hot and humid so it was kind of swampy already.

As I was screaming in pain and running to the bathroom, my wife was dying laughing. I made sure to ask her if this could be called a spicy meatball before jumping directly into an ice cold bath. I'm still waiting here 15 minutes later, afraid to stand up

Speaking of substandard white goo, why does 2% cottage cheese taste so much worse then 4%? 4 is glorious on its own but hard to find sometimes. 2 percent is just blah. At least I can cook with it, maybe make a ziti.

The Fiancè and I are doing calorie counting for a month to knock off the quarantine pounds. Fortunately, lots of veggies are coming into season. It's way easier to affordably eat fresh in spring and summer.

Because fat is DELICIOUS.

That said, I quite like this 2% blended cottage cheese I've been buying. It's the texture of an even thicker yogurt, but better flavour.

Yeah, but you would think that 2% would only be like, 2% less good, as opposed to much much less good.

I had a cup of cottage and an apple for breakfast. Definitely worth the extra hundred calories to have something delicious.

Okay?

That’s on you, though, skim milk is unpleasant imo. Honestly why drink milk at all at that point and just eat more of something else.

I drink coffee without sugar because I like the taste, I don't eat any cottage cheese because it's actually terrible and I have semi-skimmed milk in my tea because skimmed milk is just grey water.

Eating horrible subsititutes for things you like just extends the amount of time you get to live a joyless life, and low fat cottage cheese won't stop a bus hitting you.

You misspelled delicious. But really, I don’t like drinking milk at all. The closest I come is occasionally adding a little to coffee.

I enjoy cottage cheese sometimes, but I grew up with it. I never buy it, save for a blended style that is basically a 2% skyr that’s cultured with sour cream bacteria instead of yogurt. I still keep a tub of 10% Greek in the fridge though. Yum.

I don't drink milk, but I keep some on hand for cooking and baking, so it's always full fat. Maybe a small glass of chocolate milk on rare occasion.
2% is fine but the blue water that calls itself skim makes me want to puke. I don't know how anyone gets it down.

I love cottage cheese, though! Makes a great high-protein snack, and I like to make the Ethiopian collards with it. I do NOT like it sweetened with fruit or sugar though, I always eat it plain or savory/spicy.

The problem with cottage cheese is that you can't just make it with low-fat milk; once they hit 2%, they have to start adding a ton of gums and stabilizers and all kinds of crap.


EDIT: oh, and the full-fat version makes for a surprisingly good ricotta substitute in lasagne.
