I was in an Albertsons some years ago when I heard a man exclaim as he
picked up a celeriac that he loved it because it tasted just like mashed
potatoes and it was so much lower in carbs and calories.

I've never actually tried one, not really sure how to cook it. So.. Is
there any truth to this?

Thanks!

It's celery root, and to me it tastes just like celery.

I love celery. Just had a hard time believing it could taste like mashed
potatoes. Unlike you though I prefer the outer part. I remember getting
mad at my mom when she brought me celery hearts after I asked for celery. I
was sick and she went to the store for me. She said she bought the good
kind so I wouldn't have to clean it. I was like... Clean it? That's the
part I throw away! Actually not all of it bought I find the inner part has
no flavor.

Once when I was working at a small restaurant, the new girl was cleaning the
aparagus, throwing the tip parts in the garbage, and keeping the bottom part
of the stalks. She got a good razzing for that. :-)

I like to dip stuff into strained/thickened greek yogurt mixed with HVR

Probably because you've only had it overcooked. Lots of people have an
aversion to asparagus because they were subjected to the canned stuff at an
early age.

You might want to try buying a small bunch, snapping and discarding the
ends, and rolling the stalks in olive oil, coarse salt, and fresh black
pepper. Then grill them on high heat until just slightly blackened here and
there but still a bit crisp. Eat hot or at room temp.

If you don't like that, then there really is no hope for you and asparagus!

gack!

kate

oh I have tried it most all ways..even thinly shaved into a salad.

I object to the bitter dark green taste in some vegetables.

with broccoli I can kill that taste with cooking it in the meat broths.

Brussels sprouts and asparagus fight to stay bitter...or if they give up the
bitterness turn sour.

but the war wages on...lol

I like fresh and canned I use canned in salads or for snacks. Good
way to fill up when hungry and need low carb. I buy the expensive canned
stuff though not the pale, tough, stringy cheap stuff which is vile.

Don't find broccoli bitter at all (or asparagus for that matter) but
Brussels sprouts are a little bitter. I eat them as is though or
sometimes with butter and FGBP.

Me either, never would have considered asparagus as bitter, but we all have
different tastes since Splenda leaves a nasty aftertaste with me, but not
apartame. Go figure.

The horrid canned stuff is what I grew up with. Thankfully we didn't have
it often. I do remember a babysitter trying to force me to eat it. And I
remember trying to get rid of it when I had it in my mouth at the dinner
table. I had a babysitting job and the kid's dad was in the driveway
waiting for me. My dad told me I couldn't leave the table until I had eaten
it. There was no way I could swallow it. I managed somehow to go into the
bathroom and spit it into the toilet.

Since then I have tried several times to eat the fresh stuff. It just won't
go down be it white or green, raw or cooked. I just don't like it!

I must say I haven't had Brussels sprouts since I was a kid. If they come
canned that is most likely the kind I had because my mom was big into canned
veggies. I have heard that they are really good when roasted but unless I
get them in a restaurant that way I am unlikely to try them. I don't want
to cook them.

I do find broccoli, asparagus and to a lesser extent cauliflower to have a
vile taste when cooked. I wouldn't say bitter, but something so bad that I
have to immediately spit them out. Broccoli is the worst and I can't eat
something if it even has a speck of it in there or has touched it, such as a
vegetable medley. I can eat a very small amount of cauliflower in a soup.
I can (but don't like to) eat a small amount of raw broccoli or cauliflower.
I actually like the taste of raw cauliflower. It just doesn't agree with my
stomach. I can't eat asparagus no matter what!

I was at a picky eater forum for adults. I thought I would fit right in
there, but I've been told by some there that I like too many foods
(especially veggies) to be a picky eater. Apparently most of them find all
veggies to be bitter except for maybe potatoes. Potatoes were one food most
of them did eat, but mostly as French fries.

now that is just too funny... other people telling you what your food stats
is... was there anything that was worth sharing from this forum? i am
always interested in these sorts of things,

It's just a good thing that some of them are not diabetics. There really
are a few who eat little more than hamburgers (plain) and French fries.
Most seem to have textural issues with foods and like me will instinctually
spit something out that they do not like.

Yeah. Seriously there are some people there who eat only 2 or 3 foods.
Some are even terrified to try new things.

the pickled asparagus isn't 'mushified' like the canned stuff

i DETESTED the canned stuff so much, i have never tried it again, can't
even think of it

now watch, i'll find out i've been eating canned asparagus in
restaurants! LOL

might be interesting to study the similarities in food behaviors among a
group like that, being terriefied to try something moves food adversion to a

saw a study not long ago that some people are super tasters and chemically
certain foods react badly to them or different then regular peeps.

broccoli and asparagus and Brussels were on the list of foods.

pretty much all cruciferous veggies have that chemical in them.

Vast difference between fresh and canned. You'd know. More likely to
find canned in sandwich bars. The expensive stuff in the cans is a
darker green and thinner for starters. The cheap stuff is pale, thick
and stringy. I used to eat cans of it as low carb between meal snacks

LOL -

I started discussing with the shop attendant how to prepare and serve a
lamb roast, we came up with a list of spices and vegetables and how to do
it- she nearly started drooling and said with a laugh, "can I come with
you to dinner?"

I think wife would have objected - but she liked the result!

at a local store here, one fellow in the meat dept is a chef by
trade..... who got out of that industry

but he's never forgotten his trade, so, if he's out on the floor, i'll
stop and chat with him to see what he would do for whatever piece of
meat i'm looking at for dinner

we actually had a group of 4 of us chatting and exchanging 'variation'
ideas on one occasion

lol..I get most of my recipes from Alton brow and Americas test kitchen..I
then modify them to fit my tastes and needs.

I have loved cooking and food since I was a tot.

one of my first memories is deciding my moms pumpkin pie batter needed
pepper...lol
