Jaeluni Asjil posted:I wonder what is going on in these cats' brains when they see whole cucumbers? Snake maybe? The number 8 has been argued as the first to be considered composite, either as "twice four" or as "two short of ten", or similar, as 7 has been claimed to be the highest number of items that can universally be cognitively processed as a single set. This appears in Turkic and Finno-Ugric numbering systems, and also in 8 bit video game consoles. Guavanaut fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Dec 2, 2023 |

Tycoon is J P Morgan, not sure who the other very hirsute magnate is.

Guavanaut posted:I wonder if it's a genetic thing like the gene that makes some other greens taste like soap and poisonous alkaloids. I do have a similar problem with coriander, can't eat anything with it in because all I can taste is the coriander and the coriander tastes absolutely foul. A shame because pho is otherwise delicious. It's a similar kind of repellant taste too. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Dec 3, 2023 |

Sprouts are conversely probably my favourite vegetable, I wish they were an all year thing as I would never stop eating them. Don't even need seasoning or anything, just steam them a bit and I can sit with a a bowl of them and just munch them like popcorn. I like to parboil then fry them as a substitute for chips or rice but I usually end up eating quite a number of them during the cooking process. Cabbage on the other hand is dire, just sloppy, tasteless sprout. I can see where you'd maybe get tinsel though, they do have a faintly metallic flavour, like liver or lamb.

You're all wrong. Broccoli is the superior veg.

I now do “posh” broccoli cheese by tossing broccoli in oil and garlic and then roasting, then grating Parmesan over for the last 5 mins. I recommend it for your Xmas dinner

I'm pretty sure the cucumber flavour thing is a person-to-person variation. Maybe genetic yeah, as someone upthread said, like the coreander=soap thing, or the brussels=bitter poison thing.

We've had the cucumber discussion before. A friend of mine has the cucumber gene and knows if she's in the room with one, like some sort of side character from Vic Reeves Big Night Out. The myth goes it is similar to the American brown snake so she'll be safe from that, or doubly paranoid about salad.

I did some roasted broccoli the other day. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, chuck in the oven until it's just starting to char the edges of the tree bits. Delicious.

Guavanaut posted:Sprouts have recently been rebred to lose the bitter taste and taste more like broccoli and kohlrabi and other green stem vegetables, so that may be them as well as you. Cabbage has also been spliced and isolated in the opposite direction to be less soggy, and be more a brassicaceae type tasty green food plant. I still haven't met a sprout I could stand to eat. They taste like something I should instantly spit out, so bitter. But I will keep trying, maybe I'll find a magical sprout.

Every sprout I've had in the past decade has tasted like it was a good sprout designed to be eaten as a vegetable, but the same is true for every cabbage, so I may have been vegetally conditioned by the brassica lizard people who are allegedly doing things to the greens.

Apraxin posted:inspiring stuff Quote from article Apraxin quoted: quote:Starmer said it was “in this sense of public service” that he had overseen a dramatic change in the Labour party – cutting its ties with former leader Jeremy Corbyn and expelling him from the party. When was Corbyn expelled from the Labour Party? I thought he was still a member of the LP but not of the PLP (whip withdrawn)? I fkin hate Starmer with a vengeance.
