cauliflower is underrated.

I have a feeling 2025 could be the year of the cauli.
Southern fried cauliflower with diiiiiiiiiip is delicous. #Ruizing

My Da HATED brussel sprouts, and this fucker would eat anything. Never brussel sprouts, though, they were banned in the house. Dear old Ma never graced Steve and I with her own spin on them, which I know would've been wonderful.

First time I had them was at a little restaurant before a gig, think I was 21. Steve saw these braised brussel sprouts served Hungarian style and dared me to eat them.

Fucking amazing, I've loved brussel sprouts ever since.
My dad doesn't like a lot of stuff that I don't even understand how you wouldn't like. He doesn't like garlic. That's commie shit. He doesn't like the taste of peaches but likes the fuzzy skin texture, which is just fucking backwards. He hates liver, which I love but will admit it's easy to make it taste like shit and it smells bad when it's cooking, but my dad will throw up if he smells liver cooking. Dude has smelled people burned to death.

I vividly remember one time looking out from my bedroom window and seeing him sitting on the deck eating toast with cheese whiz and ketchup on it. I was like "why would you eat that??" horrified and he was like "It's good, you want one?"

Yeah. I think it's a genetic 1 out 4 people thing. Also. Cilantro does taste like fucking soap.
I honestly think I have the "cilantro tastes like soap" gene but it's faint to me. I still like it. I also like that purple gum that tastes like soap. I also used to lick soap when I was a kid. I also used to drink straight white vinegar. We also used to keep the dog food in a big tote and I'd open it up and just huff dog food fumes because I liked the way it smelled and I'd take a couple bites here and there as a special treat. I was a weird kid. I am a weird man.

Well. You were immune to punishment when you cursed. What would your parents wash your mouth out with? A treat?

I still try to get into broccoli, but it's the one fucking vegetable I have to load up with sauce to keep down. I don't have this problem with cauliflower, oddly enough. Though I tend to rice or mash it.

And @TheGhostOfAbeVigoda, ginger root! If no one's mentioned it, you need that periodically too. Does wonders. At minimum, get an organic powder.

And while not a vegetable, cinnamon too. That's a big help during fasts.

I was a good boy around adults and never swore around them until I was like 10, and even then it was like if I was really losing my shit and didn't care if I got in trouble.

The first time my mom heard me swear I said "shithead" and I cried because I was like "Well, there you go, Abe. Your mother probably doesn't love you anymore because you have a potty mouth."

I also accidentally called Bob Saget "Bob Faggot" while I was watching AFV with my mom and grandmother once but they couldn't hide the laughter.

Yellow potatoes are better than russets for anything but fries. Sweet potatoes chopped up with chipotle powder, garlic powder, and salt, then oven roasted in 400 for like 30 minutes are pfg. I will not eat them any other way.

Asparagus is okay, but people cook them to death.

Buttercrunch lettuce and arugula are great as a salad. All salads should be chopped. I hate eating giant piles of leaves. A good chopped salad with a bunch of herbs and olive oil and salt is fantastic.

Green peas suck a majority of the time. Sweet pea pods eaten straight off the vine is far superior. You can put them in a stir fry and they taste good too. Black eyed peas are the best, but that's my good Southern upbringing talking.

Broccoli rules. Cauliflower is okay, but I need to cook with it more to really get a feel for it. Brussel sprouts are wonderful sauteed in bacon fat. Mustard greens and collards are also good sauteed, not boiled to death, also in pork fat.

Radishes are good.

Carrots are good too, but I only like them raw. Cooked carrots are gross to me.

I started cursing around my parents around 7 but would just pretend I didn't understand what I said was bad.
