Cooked Vegetables

Post by TimeForGuinness »

Other than corn, potatoes, rice, beans...I hate cooked vegetables.

I love raw carrots, celery, green beans, peas, cucumbers, etc...but if you cook them, I won't eat them

At least 1x, more like 2x per week I cook asparagus in virgin olive oil and a dab of butter. Just burn it slightly on one side.

You are really missing something. By far my favorite veggie, and the bonus is I find it growing wild near the streams I fish. Nothing like a couple of wild trout cooked on the grill served with a side of wild asparagus picked from the same stream.

I won't eat it. I'm pretty good about eating anything, but tomatoes and carrots are pretty gross when cooked. That's it though. I like almost all other vegetables in a variety of ways.

Something goes VERY wrong w/ a tomato when its cooked. It just turns into mush.
