Veggie soup ok?

How do I cook vegetables so that they no longer have that fibrous crunch?

I want to get more vegetables in my life so I can stop taking supplements but I just can't stand the way vegetables all have that weird crunch. It doesn't matter how fine you chop them or how long you cook them I can always feel them in the dish and it ruins my whole appetite. I don't mind the taste and I actually like the flavor of a lot of stuff but I just can't force myself to ignore the texture. So what can I do?

>>8130031
Grow up

>>8130034
I'm trying to, prick. You're asking me to literally like something I just don't like.

I'm sure your diet is free of all laughable decisions or childish habits.

Mine is cab bitch. Or perhaps the humble potato.

>>8130044
Potato isn't a vegetable.

Neither is corn before anyone mentions that.

ah yes fractal broccoli

>>8130038
The difference between liking and not liking things is mostly your own mental disposition going into the experience, which is under your control. You've accepted it as some kind of given that you will not enjoy the texture of vegetables. Go in with an open and positive attitude and you can begin to enjoy it.

He's right though. your tastes will change with age. Young people place more importance on texture vs taste than adults do. When you're older you won't care anymore.

>>8130086
You know full well he didn't mean it in a literal sense and he was being a smarmy cunt.

I do try things openly but as soon as that crunch hits my teeth I get a noticeable cringe like you do when you bite into something hard that's supposed to be soft.

>>8130108

you're a fucking faggot.

keep eating it until you like it.. i didn't like mushrooms. i didn't like oysters. i didn't like fish roe/caviar. i didn't like seaweed. i didn't like raw fish. i didn't like chicken liver. i didn't like offal pates. i didn't like foie gras. i didn't like headcheese, etc.

get over yourself. jesus christ, you can't even eat VEGETABLES?????

>>8130031
blend them. look up some baby food recipes

The best vegetable. The pods have a delicious sweetness and a satisfying crunch.

potato is great for you. nutrients, calories no fat no cholesterol

>>8130015
awwwwwwww yis motherfucking brussels sprouts.

>>8130171
nobody is saying potato isn't good for you. just that it isn't a vegetable.

Like how tomato isn't a vegetable. It's great, but it's a fruit.

>>8130108
No I literally meant grow up. You seriously can't handle something crunchy in your food? You sound like a fucking 8 year old.
Grow the fuck up.

>>8130207
It's not about something crunchy it's about the odd texture that most vegetables, especially ones like onions and peppers, all seem to have.

Good lord son there must be so many holes in those basement walls if you get this butt bothered over what other people like.

>>8130217
That texture is what vegetables have. The clean feeling of high water content and fiber is what people crave. If you want to have an adult palette you need to get over your autism.

How do you eat usually?

>>8130217
>odd texture of most vegetables
>something crunchy

are you serious? how about fruits, can you handle eating an apple, or a pear? or how about potato chips? they "crunch".

Eggplant. Roasted or grilled. Sprinkle a bit of coarse salt on top of it. And maybe a dash of Cayenne. As always, enjoy.

>>8130217
>odd texture
What is odd about it? It's just crunchy and sometimes watery. You're dumb

it is a fruit. nothing more to say.

>>8130384
spinach counts, and spinach is the fucking best. good taste, anon.

>>8130031
As someone else mentioned, you can blend the vegtables and fruits.

I like vegtables, however I still blend them sometimes to mix in with minced meat, or make creamy sauces and stews.
I do the same thing with herbs and fruits.

>>8130346
A botanical fruit, yes

>>8130124
try making it in scrambled egg, oil in pan, roughly chopped broccoli, maybe some onions and the egg. Delicious.

Lately been eating Lots of Baby Bok Choy, Swiss Chard and asian Eggplant. That shit is Nice.

Hey, i wasn't being an obtuse prick telling you to look up baby food recipes, that's exactly what you're asking for.

I love them. One of my favourite ways is to have them with mushrooms and a sauce of sour cream and mustard.

my answer.

one part that i think is overlooked is the stem. it's different from the rest of the broccoli head. it's sweet, crisp, and juicy.

you just gotta peel off the tough skin.

The stem is great. Every time I cook broccoli I peel the stem and eat it raw with a little salt

>>8131756
what?

>>8131754
Apparently the way it can be kind of slimy bothers people.

I love okra though, good AF and stupidly prolific if you grow it.

>>8131797
if you toss the seeds in the ground here in north florida it pretty much takes over your yard

cooking it kills the slime factor but honestly that's one of the reasons I love it as a snack food, it has an interesting texture for sure

>>8131739
Since vegetable is purely a culinary term, with zero botanical basis, then by your logic there are no vegetables at all and we have to autistically refer to all plant based foods by their botanical parts. Except this is a culinary board.

>>8136578
Fruits are any part of the plant that bears seeds.
Vegetables are everything else.

Beans are a fruit.
Onions are not
Corn is a fruit
Potatoes are not
Coffee is fruit juice
Tea is vegetable juice.

Do you cut out the cores? I really love the taste of the leaves but the cores taste so bitter and disgusting and cutting them out is a fucking pain in the ass.

Wat do?

>>8142059
How do you prepare them? Prepared like that guy's picture, halved and roasted, the cores shouldn't be very bitter.
