That’s My Answer asks: Are there any vegetables that you just can’t eat?
Brussels sprouts. I *really* want to like them. Really I do. Everyone says: “you’ll like them the way I cook them” or “they taste like cabbage.” No, I really do NOT like them no matter how they’re cooked, and they do NOT taste like cabbage. I like cabbage. Heck, I even like spinach. I do not like Brussels sprouts.
The only redeeming part of Brussels sprouts, for me? The cool stalks. The weird spikey things are where the leaves were cut off. Supposedly you can eat the leaves like spinach. Spinach that tastes like Brussels sprouts. Feh.

I still don’t know what kind of tomato this was, but it sure was tasty. I’m saving the seeds for next year, so I can attempt them again.

The first eggplant that I’ve ever grown was eaten on Friday, September 26th, 2008. It started out looking like this:
And then it became oven-roasted eggplant slices with an asian-inspired tahini sauce. (Sorry, no after photos - it didn’t last long enough!) I think it was pretty tasty, but I’m not sure that it was actually that fabulous. I was kind of caught up in the “I grew it myself” moment, so it might have just been kind of “meh”. I couldn’t even tell you.
