@Fragglemuppet Can I cast a write-in vote for brussel sprouts?

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@Fragglemuppet Just had both

With leek, sprouts, peas, cheese sauce, bacon bits & extra cheese on top then grilled to brown the cheese off

Tastes better than it sounds

[uxmark@cosocial.ca]

@Fragglemuppet @giflian I put broccoli on the pizza I made for supper today! 🥦️

[giflian@techhub.social]

@Fragglemuppet Looks like nobody has written in regarding the accursed broccoflower? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broccoflower

[giflian@techhub.social]

@uxMark @Fragglemuppet I don't like broc on pizza, but I'm happy you do.

They're my favourite since childhood because they look like little trees.

[uxmark@cosocial.ca]

@giflian @Fragglemuppet I love them raw with dip, too. And we have other suppers based on them. I love cauliflower too. And cabbage and Brussels sprouts. Really, the whole family

[fragglemuppet@fandom.ink]

@michaelvcooper1 Love those!

But broccoli and cauliflower tend to be thought of similarly, even though they're not really.

[fragglemuppet@fandom.ink]

@staringatclouds And it sounds amazing!

[fragglemuppet@fandom.ink]

@giflian @uxMark Aw, my mom and grandmother used t o call them Christmas trees.

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@Fragglemuppet it's a 'throw what veg you have, in the pot, steam it, cover it with cheese sauce, cheese & bacon bits' type recipe, no fixed amounts or set ingredients

I tend to avoid root veg for it tho, might work, you never know

[fragglemuppet@fandom.ink]

@staringatclouds Turns out turnip with a little cheddar cheese is quite good.

[fragglemuppet@fandom.ink]

@giflian I've heard of it, but never tried it.

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@Fragglemuppet I have a problem with turnip, I can't keep it down

I used to like it mashed with carrots & butter when I was little but became intolerant as I grew older

@Fragglemuppet

In my experience, if you grow cauliflower in a warm location, it tends to look a lot like broccoli.

Broccoli and cauliflower were only developed in the last 500 years or so.

Kale, kohlrabi, cabbage, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts are all cultivars of wild mustard.

@Fragglemuppet Prefer them both raw myself, though my body disagrees lately so I have to limit them. Steamed is okay but the scent they give off when roasted is absolutely stomach-turning for me.

[grahamdowns@mastodon.africa]

@leoncowle @Fragglemuppet well, hold on to your hat, because I'm about to drop another bombshell: I like Brussels sprouts too.

I've always liked most fruits and vegetables. The only two things I really didn't like as a child (and am still not crazy shout) were avos and spinach.

And I'm not a fan of East Asian food in general. And I don't like mielie pap.

[cj@dragonscave.space]

@Fragglemuppet At some point in my life, I remember getting bags of broccoli and cauliflower mixed together. And wow I just spelled them both correctly the first time!

[catdad@ohai.social]

@Fragglemuppet I particularly like a broccoli and cauliflower mash. A little butter and a little salt - good noms!

[ben@kwiecien.us]

@Fragglemuppet I like bok choy

[zipkid@gts.solfood.be]

@Fragglemuppet Raw cauliflower with a cocktail sauce is the best!
