Favourite raw veg

[kittyP]

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

I hate green pepper raw and cooked. It has a really weird smell and taste.

I really like red, orange and yellow raw and they are OK cooked.

Red pepper is defo the best raw.

Romano peppers are the best of the best.

Romano peppers are the best of the best.

Are they the long ones? If so then

 

[Cid]

Are they the long ones? If so then

Yes. Although they're not the only ones shaped like that. But yeah, they're usually the long ones in UK supermarkets at least.

Isn't raw rhubarb poisonous?

The leaves contain oxalic acid, so not edible

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

You know who. And it's a long story.

not a very inclusive poll. I much prefer raw veg to cooked so am miffed there is no mention of peppers, celery, celeriac, kohlrabi, courgettes, daikon, chicory, fennel etc etc. I would eat grated turnip but think I would draw the line at potatoes. although am generally happy to eat tubers.

It’s also absolutely shit

You can only have a certain number of poll options, so it wasn't possible to list all varieties of veg.

I don't mind them finely diced and cooked down like in a mirepoix but I don't like the flavour and texture of big lumps of them.

Nice mashed in with potato and seasoned

 

[Doodler]

Shitting everywhere. And eating their own poop.

Foreplay is important

Lots of veg contains oxalic acid and isn't considered poisonous, you just need to be careful not to eat too much of it.

Turnip, swede, potato?

Wut...

 

[xenon]

Romano peppers are the best of the best.

Yes. + no seeds to remove. At least in the ones you get in supermarkets.

I think I've actually developed a mild allergy to raw onions. They really make me cough. This has only happened in the last couple of years. I still otherwise would choose those off that list.

Coleslaw is my favourite raw veg.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

I mean, obviously leafy greens - lettuce, spinach, kale, rocket. Carrots a close second.

 

[campanula]

mmmm. oxalic acid - sorrel, dandelion leaves, endive... I love bitter greens. Raw rhubarb, dipped in sugar was an absolute childhood staple. That, and liquorice root which my grandad grew (glycherrhiza glabra).

No ones mentioned fennel yet.

 

[Calamity1971]

chicory, fennel etc etc

No ones mentioned fennel yet.

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.

tried this just now. made chips of a baby new potatoe & ate it raw with fava beans and a nice chianti olive oil and salt. i liked it. prefer them cooked, though...

 

[Saul Goodman]

Pretty sure raw potato isn't good for you.

 

[deeyo]

Pretty sure raw potato isn't good for you.

i think its more like not digestable, needs to be cooked for humans to process the starch.

 

[thismoment]

Red peppers

 

[UrbaneFox]

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

Just to be on the safe side, obvs.

Well I prefer them cooked, too, but it's nice to see that you gave it a go.

 

[xenon]

no sorry I’m not having it. People that eat raw potatoes and like it. You are freaks.
