Vegetable Survivor Round 8

cucumber brings a sort of vibe to the function

ive done this with an apple before. surprisingly pleasant

I just need to keep reminding myself that this is the group who thinks Spicy Pie is good pizza.

I don’t.

bell peppers and spinach aren't that good

Bell Peppers rule even if usually a component. Gotta be shrimp and breadcrumb stuffing not rice ground meat and jarred tomato sauce.

100% sub-par pizza and not somewhere I'd ever go to if they had a pizza restaurant.  Did it win a Bonnaroo food survivor or something in the past?  Sure, I've had slices or bites.  But I also know of a couple people that it gave the hershey squirts to.  Dry, lifeless, cheap and good with that Lot Bear from Millur

Bell peppers have not gotten enough hate for sure. If nothing else, the seeds are a pain in the ass.

If you slice down one side on it like it was a square, you can turn the pepper in a circle, cutting as you go, and remove the edible part without ever touching the seeds or most of the ribs.  It is very easy to julienne or dice from that.

Also all forms of squash > brussels sprouts.

Potatoes boring? Yikes. This is going off the rails. Hash browns, mashed potatoes and gravy, french fries, twice baked, gnocchi, potato souffle', latkes, stuffed, scalloped, etc. If you think yellow and red ones are boring, try purple ones. Also sweet potatoes rule, and the holidays wouldn't taste the same without them. And Ube.



Also Mississippi White Sweet Potatoes aka Bonita Potatoes ftw.


Ube

Why would you eat anything unseasoned though?

I quit. This is terrible.

Depends. Some seasonings are too spicy for some people. My girlfriend and my brother for example are two people in my immediate circle that just can't handle nearly any level of spice. Other reasons might be for health or a low sodium diet. Also if you're actually a slug pretending to be human.

Yankees probably.  And not from Buffalo where they like spice.  All of these, except potatoes, are edible raw without any seasoning.  But all of them are better with something added be it spices, herbs, dips, dressings or whatever.  Brussels sprouts suck raw, but they suck anyway.  Quick and Dirty with obvious room for more thought:

Corn - butter, salt and pepper (alternative boiled with shrimp or crawfish so lots of cayenne and salt)

Brussels Sprouts - Taste like shit, so put some shit on them.

Potatoes - Butter, Salt, Gravy

Tomatoes - Salt

Carrots - Dill, Butter

Squash - Salt, Lemon, Black Pepper

Spinach - light salt

Bell Peppers - Vinaigrette 

Cucumbers - Salt, Dill

Mushrooms - Soy Sauce & Garlic

Onions - Beer Batter, Salt

Broccoli - Cheese, Tempura
