Veggies - raw or cooked?
It’s a fairly well-known fact that I was an outright vegetable hater until 25, and definitely suspicious of anyone harboring strong vegetable sympathies until nearly 30. I avoided cruite plates like they were trays of moldy berries. So, vegetables that are totally straightforward to those of you who do not deem broccoli a contaminant are somewhat opaque to me.
Take the zucchini. Do people eat that raw? This is not a joke. I don’t know.
Carrots. I had seen them cooked in Boston Market. But I had never had them cooked before this weekend. I braised them with sugar and amish butter, and they were super tasty (aided by a nice dusting of salt at the end.)
Sugar snap peas. A friend showed me to just spice them, and then eat them! Without a dipping sauce of any kind!
Root vegetables I know must be cooked. But it seems like every other vegetable can be eaten raw. Tell me, are there any vegetables you don’t eat raw?
