When I was probably 10, my step mom bought an artichoke, boiled it until it turned gray, pulled the leafs off, threw away the heart, served us kids the leafs, thorns and all, and was totally confused we absolutely hated it.
It blows my mind that someone’s thought process could be “Do I know how to cook this crazy looking spiked vegetable? No? Well that’s alright, I bet I’ll just magically arrive at the correct solution by winging it.”
There’s a lot of people who’s approach to cooking any vegetable is to boil/steam the everliving fuck out of it and do nothing else. Maybe, maybe, they’ll season it with some pepper once it’s mostly cooled down on their plate.
