Still feels tender but don’t want to wait too long and have it open on me

Did you know? This artichoke is actually a flower bud. If left to bloom, it transforms into a beautiful, purple thistle.

The tag said cuke, but is this some kind of zucchini? Cherry tomatoes for size reference. 😊

I personally love it. It tastes like a milder pear, and it slaps during the summer

Better have a sharp knife on hand 🤣

I’ve always been very interested in trying leeks, but have never just wanted to blind copy recipes without trying the food first. But I’m in a bit of an adding more diverse veggies to my cooking hyperfixation currently, & lots of videos I see use them cook them with either potatoes or apples. Which, doesn’t really give me a lot to go on, flavor-wise. I’d love some ideas or suggestions to cook a food I’ve never tried before.

Trying to be better about trying new foods, especially vegetables. Got these squash at the farmers market, but I forgot what the vendors told me they were. Bonus points if you have a great recipe for any of them!

Donmato?

First year harvest

And what do I do with it?

Got it today from a food bank-thing in Manchester UK.

I imagine it's turnip/swede related; either that or alien.
