The beets, brussels, butterbean society...

[cosine]

We're threadjacking the baked potato thread rather badly, so...


Who wants to join?

rather have a ribeye

[grislyatoms]

Me!

Honestly, there aren't many vegetables I don't like. Eggplant, Brussels Sprouts, squash, asparagus, turnips, rutabaga, and beets are all off limits. I'll eat just about any other vegetable.

Lightly steamed broccoli with lemon-pepper butter is a favorite, along with a plate of sliced fresh tomatoes and fried cabbage. Oh, and collard (or any other, truth be told) greens. Oh, and fresh picked corn. Oh, wait, I forgot... sheesh, I could go on for awhile...

Beets and Brussel Sprouts I love.

Butter beans... not so much.

Are turnips included? They'd better be!

A co-worker, and former marine grunt said that the Corps recognizes the four main food groups:

Caffeine

Nicotine

Alcohol and

Pizza

All else is, I guess, fluff, and beneath consideration. That would include, naturally, Brussels sprouts, beets and butterbeans.

Vegetables aren't really food . . . vegetables are what food eats.

Something smells funky in here.

I don't care for brussel sprouts.  They taste bitter to me (and, yes, I've tried them more than once).

I eat brussels sprouts regularly, and am rather partial to butter beans, but never learned to eat beets ... however, sugar is made from beets, and I eat lots of sweets, so that ought to count for something.

They're supposed to taste somewhat bitter. Bitter is one of the four primary taste sensations.

[K Frame]

But you're very unlikely to ever encounter sugar beets.

The beets we eat are not sugar beets.

Keep on outing yourselves, food perverts.  I'm putting a together a nice list for the purge.

If they keep eating all those veggies the purge won't be far behind.

[Perd Hapley]

Folks, I actually tried some cabbage tonight.  Didn't like it, but I at least tried it.  Aren't you proud of me?  Then I was stupid enough to taste the crab legs my wife ordered.  I forgot that I don't like those, either.   

[stevelyn]

I'll join for the beets, but the brussel sprouts and butterbeans have to go......

Can I bring squash?

[Chuck Dye]

Try www.fooddownunder.com for borscht recipes, especially cold ones for summer. 

Try gazpacho, too.  Gazpacho, blended thoroughly, also makes a truly superior Bloody Mary.  (No!  That drink is not too thick, it just needs more booze! )

Speaking of cabbage, I had the tastiest corned beef and cabbage at an Irish pub here in Roanoke.  I washed it down with a Scottish Ale, then an Irish Ale.

Won't eat (don't like) sweet pickles and beets. Don't care for hominy, but if I'm hungry....   'Bout anything else is fair game. Just finished off some sweet tater and asparagus off the grill, along with a rib eye.

Strangely enough, I'm making borscht right now to take to an "international" dinner tomorrow at church. Actually, it was the only Polish dish I could think of to make easily. Can't get good kielbasa around here, most of the other dishes are "labor intensive" and I've never made them. I ight even taste the borscht!

Stay safe, and eat hearty!

Shwein und Kartoffel....

Add a glass of milk or vanilla shake you got a deal.

I think compared to me, everyone else is picky.

Seriously, I eat just about everything. I might need a moment to get used to something new (read: wierd), but then I quickly start appreciating it.

Brussel sprouts, butterbeans, beets? Sure. I'll actually eat a can of pickled beets by itself in a sitting. Same with palm hearts, black olives, and artichoke heart quarters. No pickle is safe in my house, including pickled okra and cauliflower. I eat sardines and fish steaks for breakfast some days. Salted raw turnip is like a delicacy. Potatoes, too.

There's a spanish manufacturer that cans squid, octopus, and abalone much like sardines. I love those when I can find them. Gravlax? Love it. Frozen mussels? I actually found and ate microwaveable ones. Not bad.

Anybody feelin' funny in the tummy yet? :-D

[RocketMan]

mfree, you're making me hungry.  Haven't had pickled cauliflower, palm hearts or raw turnip in a long time.  Good stuff.

Canned smoked clams, mussels or octopus and crackers and a microbrew.  Oh, baby.

Never had pickled okra, but my wife (she's from NC) makes great fried okra.  Hard to believe an Oregon boy likes okra.  It's hard to find it fresh around here.
