Timelies... I think I can picture "whatever fingers" and for somebody who doesn't eat many vegs, I like cabbage well enough(It's kind of a chinese food staple and I love Chinese food. And I'm Irish-American so the corned beef thing.) It's a ritual sacrifice...with cabbage.(Anyone know if we commemorate something specific with that?) And I want the Wire back. And my country back.

raw good, cooked bad
Should this be the place where I post my eternal "raw tomatoes are evil, only after they're properly killed cooked can they become worthy of eating without throwing up from the smell alone"? I can't have a food discussion without getting to that.
Other than that, timelies.

I love raw tomatoes, except for the fact that I read and eat them and get seeds in my books. Which later on, is a major "What the hell is that?" experience. But you guys could still loan me stuff to read...I'm much more careful with other people's stuff.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
FredPete is from WI. Where did this Californian approach to veggies come from?
Nilly, raw tomatoes and raw onions are what life is all about. Learn to love life!

I read some awesome receipes in Cooks Illustrated, last night, that involved raw tomato sauces for pasta, using summer tomatoes.
YUM!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Too many overcooked, soggy veggies as a kid.
And Nilly, my rule on tomatoes is actually different -- chunk bad, sauce/ketchup good.

Not helping your case here. They're like little cabbages with added slime!
Or concentrated cabbage. I can handle cabbage in small doses, or in certain things (certain dumplings, for one), but brussell sprouts literally make me gag - as in my throat closes up like someone is shoving a finger down my throat. Broccoli does the same thing, even in tiny quantities.
Weirdest vegatable I like? Fiddleheads. But they need to be lightly sauteed or blanched. If overcooked, they get slimier than okra.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Mmmm, fresh tomatoes... t /Homer

Man, the first time I had heirloom tomatoes, I thought I'd gone to heaven. Soooo good. Pricey, but often worth it.

I have to be careful with pasta sauce these days...something that's in a lot of it tends to upset my stomach. Probably basil. Or maybe it's just really acidic.
