The most useless vegetable

Nov 09, 2005 22:17



Some would say "brussel sprouts" (George Bush Sr. does). silver_raccoon dislikes Okra. crocodile HATES cilantro. Me , I like all of the above. I will admit - for a wolf, I REALLY like my veggies and frankly I don't think that a meal is complete without them. You could take the British approach and boil them all to tasteless mush, but what a shame that would be when there's such an epicurean delight to be had from our sister Kingdom.

There are howevever exceptions to the rule: For me there is one vegetable that has absolutely no redeeming characteristics and that's KALE. Yes, useless Kale adorning the empty spaces between our salad bars. Too tough to be included in most fresh salads, too bitter to substitute for cabbage. Hopelessly darb in color, it doesn't even make a good substitute for parsley! I did a search for Kale recipes and there was not a single ONE that I could find that sounded remotely edible much less delicious!
Go ahead... I DARE YOU to find a good Kale recipe! If Kale was the mystery ingredient in Iron Chef, the dueling masters would just as soon commit ritual seppuku suicide than touch the stuff.

Truly Kale - you simply need to wither and die. Gourmet kitchens everywhere will thank you.

What vegetable do YOU despise? Explain.
