Favourite raw veg

[farmerbarleymow]

raw carrots are tasty enough. i eat 'em.
cooked carrots are just gross.

I agree - they're pretty bad cooked.

Not getting excited about peanut butter. One thing I've never tried just because of the look of it.

Sorry, you've never tried peanut butter?

That qualifies as a vegetable too.

Rhubarb seems an odd item to have on the list.
Mind you I like raw potato, so it might well be that what I think is odd is considered not remotely not odd by others. Even.

Isn't raw rhubarb poisonous?

You get used to them.
I had to acquire the taste - I get through a kilo a week now - very nutritious - makes yer pee go dark though.
They originally ate the greens not the roots whereas I carefully cut every bit of green off as I'm not keen on (related) coriander, parsley, celery and the like

Nope.
A stalk of fresh rhubarb and a bag/dish of sugar to dip the cut end in is a very fine thing indeed. Dip and bite then repeat until the stalk is finished.

Salad cream down the groove. Pure delight.

Are we still talking about bums?

No. If it was I'd have been dead before I reached ten.

Or peanut butter.
Or cream cheese.

Don't be sorry, it's not your fault.
Have you ever seen a dog turd with peanuts in? That's peanut butter.

Nope. Just the normal, ordinary stuff.

I have a tin of rhubarb in syrup I bought during lockdown when the fruit ran out. Haven't opened it yet but I presume it was boiled, sealed in the tin and then sterilised at high pressure and temperature in an autoclave. When I open it I'll add more sugar and boil it again.

Why would you boil it again? Tinned rhubarb is already as soft as baby food.

i grew up on bags of peas and carrots, cooked, the peas were quite nice, but the carrots ...

If it's a big potato, I peel it and just chop it up as if you were making chips and eat then like that. Never put salt on. Might try that now as you say it.
If they are small new potatoes, I just bite into them, skin and all.

 

[Chilli.s]

Watercress, proper bunch not a bag of offcuts from a supermarket

More anal ecstasy?

Grated beetroot

Careful if it has any green bits!

Watercress, carrots and little gem lettuces.

"Rabbit food!" cry the unimaginative. Yes, and we all know what rabbits are good at.

 

[MrSki]

I love a bit of red pepper but orange yellow & green are all okay too.

 

[davesgcr]

Red cabbage.


(PS - harvested about 3 pounds of rhubarb today ,but it will be cooked !)

Shit poll. One of the worst ever.

But - grudgingly - carrots probably the best standalone. Red onions in salads, with cheese etc. Garlic I like, but exclusively as a one of the additions in Korean barbecue.

Other than that, all the usual things.

Who the fuck eats raw swede, and why does it need to be differentiated from raw turnips?

Shitting everywhere. And eating their own poop.
