should raw cabbage and raw carrot be included in a salad

[Sharky]

A slice of raw toast goes well with salad.

Oh my goodness, shop made out of date coleslaw? It sounds disgusting... come come Accy, how hard is it to make some coleslaw? Admittedly I used to retch when my Mum and Sister ate the shop bought one, but then as you get older and realise that coleslaw is just raw veg in a dressing, you cotton on that you can therefore make it with whatever you damn well want in it. Any raw veg, any dressing, your choice. Hell, you can even make it really delicious with herbs, pickles, hot sauce, whatever stuff you want!
Please tell me you'll chop up some veg tomorrow and eschew bargain bin Tesco bubbling coleslaw forever.

Does coleslaw have vinegar in the recipe? If so, i dislike vinegar very much! Not so much the taste,but it makes my head sweat like billyo!

Mix up some finely shredded white cabbage, grated carrot, thinly sliced red onion, and lots of chopped coriander in a small quantity of 50/50 mayo and reggae reggae sauce, and you just de-blanded the beigest of dinners!

(And it doesn't get much more beige than fish cake and potatoes).

Yes, the mayo definitely makes the grated carrot and cabage more palatable!

With the exception of stuff like potatoes, turnips, sprouts....ALL vegetables are tasty raw

One of the few veg to be improved with cooking is the cauliflower which, when slathered with cheese sauce is the food of the Gods

Also very fond of raw mushrooms but, as we all know, they aren't veg

I'll eat anything.

Eat a rainbow every day - that's the best way to proceed

That was the advice from a dietician I work with, and it's what I tell my rainbow obsessed 4yo in an attempt to get her to eat something healthy.🌈

Cauliflower cheese needs bacon though. And a crispy cheese and breadcrumb topping. And a dash of mustard in the sauce. And grilled tomatoes on top.

Sprouts need to be fried with pancetta and chestnuts, in plenty of butter.

Mushrooms make me want to vomit. I don't think I've ever eaten a turnip.

Turnip discussions always descend into the "what is a swede, what is a turnip" maelstrom

I'm a big fan of a swede, mashed with plenty of nutmeg.

Apparently the broccoli raab that I'm attempting to grow isn't broccoli at all but is related to the turnip, which is even more confusing.

Very nicely done.

Even freeze dried bats imported from Wuhan?

Turnips (I grow golden ones) and sprouts can both be very tasty raw, if prepared properly.

There is often a disconnect between horticultural, and greengrocer / culinary naming.
Especially when you get other languages involved.

Cavello Nero, sound very sophisticated.
Until you realise its just Italian for black cabbage.

All the broccolis, turnips, swede, cabbage kale etc etc are of the cruciferae family

Just selected variations thereof.

But it indicates their growing needs, and potential pests. (on the whole)

Tis a minefield - Well no actually it's a veg field.. But you know what I mean.
