@WizardofOz i love celery but you have to peel it lol. The outside layer is very tough and stringy and can be bitterish. Its great peeled and washed with peanut butter raw. Or i like it cooked a few different ways. ETA it's also good raw with sour cream onion dip
@Penny I just looked it up! I can use a potato peeler to do it. Is this common knowledge? I am gonna try it, because I actually have some celery left over from making potato salad. The wife said you don't need to peel it for potato salad, if you use a grater. She said that a grater will leave the tough skin behind. Very interesting.
I guess I'll never say "never", but I have no desire to eat raw cauliflower again.
Partly this is due to a memory I have of a week in which a complimentary box lunch was packed for me by the office I was doing extra work for, and raw cauliflower was in it every day. By the end of the week I felt as if nails were scraping the insides of my stomach.
@SW-User I used to like coleslaw as a kid ironically. Pretty gross nowadays. However, I order a chicken sandwhich at Dave's Hot Chicken one time and it came with some type of special, in-house slaw. It was pretty good. But typical slaw 🤢

@iamnikki i've seen sandwiches like that. people seem to love them but that would ruin it for me. ick!
@Penny Wife likes them roast as part of a Sunday roast, they just don't really do anything for me. Again, happy to eat them but wouldn't notice if they weren't there.
I just ate some broccoli. It was in a vegetable/beef dish delivered from The Mandarin yesterday. It was the last dish eaten, too - - I was starving so I had no choice!
@iamnikki Yellow and red is fine but dark green makes me sick. My favorite is spicy light green/yellow that is called PCR here but still I can't always digest it well. Sometimes it causes problems sometimes not.
There are also these long thin light green peppers I like but I don't know what they are called.
@NativePortlander1970 well yea, I know it changes the foods and often cooking it cooks away the nutrients. I was just wondering how it leads to allergy. Guess that was explanation enough 😬
