there is something really cool about figuring out ways to eat vegetables you've hated all your life

It's happened with broccoli (which I fucking hated as a kid), and now today with eggplant (which I've done my best to avoid until now).

At this point, I might reconsider my eternal feud with cauliflower. Maybe there IS a way it can be eaten by me. And it would be kinda hilarious to share that information with my parents who during all my childhood fought to make me eat overcooked boiled cauliflower.

(it's a "funny" story that even as a baby, I would refuse to eat any food that had cauliflower in it) (I've always loudly hated them, my parents knew about it and found it funny, but still scolded me for not eating them because I was wasting food)

#jau rants #the lesson I've been learning is that with some exception I don't like boiled vegetables #it's fine if it's a soup because I'll eat nearly anything if it's in liquid form #but the texture of boiled vegetable is a nightmare and the taste ain't great for me either #my best ally for eating vegetables has been chinese and japanese recipes so far
