I love to cook, and it shows. I am an adventurous eater, there are few things I won't try. There are things I just don't understand why people eat. Some that are more trouble than they are worth.
1: Artichokes - Have you ever cleaned them and cooked them?
2: Artichokes - Wonderful - or why bother?
3: Oysters - Have you ever opened them?
4: Oysters - Love them, or hate them?
5: Rutabagas - have you ever cooked one of those monsters?
My answers:
1: Artichokes - Have you ever cleaned them and cooked them? - Yes, a lot of work for what you end up with.

Your answers?
I'll just talk about artichokes, which I have never cooked or cleaned. I love them cooked in salads, and other dishes. I hate eating them whole. The process of placing a leaf in my mouth, scraping it with my teeth, and then placing the remains on my plate... BLECH!!!
ReplyDeletea resounding NO to all 5 - YUCK!
ReplyDelete1: Artichokes - Have you ever cleaned them and cooked them?
ReplyDeleteMy father grew, and grows artichokes, so we ate a lot growing up. I have cooked, cleaned, eaten, and loved artichokes!
2: Artichokes - Wonderful - or why bother? Wonderful; make a nice vinaigrette to drizzle over them!
3: Oysters - Have you ever opened them? Nope.
4: Oysters - Love them, or hate them? Ate one, hated it.
5: Rutabagas - have you ever cooked one of those monsters? I wouldn't know a rutabaga if it walked up to me on the street and slapped my face. it won't .... will it?
1) No
ReplyDelete2) Wonderful!
3) Yes
4) Dislike very much
5) Nope
I love artichokes, especially prepared in the Roman manner-using the whole thing (see: carciofi alla romana); don't like the "peel & eat" method (Italians consider it barbaric). Oysters I can take or leave. Rutabaga is the vegetable God eats; it is virtually incomparable.
ReplyDeleteNo to the first 4.
