Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Bring on the weird, I'm a freak for odd things and that's how I learned to cook all these veggies, it they are out of the ordinary I will try them. It's always safe to steam a veggie and taste it, work from there. I love the way the brussels look on the stalk, now the the yucca root is odd, the lotus root is gorgeous and it reminds me of a snowflake. Those little edoki mushrooms look like ears off an alien.

She said she couldn't " deal with " all the " weird " vegetables lol. They do look like a green medieval weapon on the stalk like that but no need to be scared of them hehehehe. Peace, Diane > > My next alien veggie is Brussels Sprouts. If you have never seen them growing but have room in a garden or container for a couple of plants, go for it. The sprouts grow on a pyramid shaped stalk. The sprouts ripen from bottom to top, so you end up picking from the plant all summer/fall long. I have also had these overwinter and produce all winter. As with all Brassica (cabbages, broccoli, rutabagas etc), a little nip of winter at the end of the growing season sweetens them up. > Whatever gets you through the night 'salright, 'salright It's your money or life 'salright, 'salright Don't need a sword to cut through flowers oh no, oh no Source:Watever Gets You Through The Night - John Lennon Sports Fantasy Football ’06 - Go with the leader.
