It's like you actually want to eat as few nutrients as possible.

vile-tier vegetable no thanks
only good cooked when complementing tomato sauce as far as i'm concerned

>> No.5083251

The little brother of potatoes, it compliments almost every savory meat dish like roasts, grilled stuff, stews and even fish. It's truely a good fruit.

With cooking you lose some vitamin c but, most people do not exclusively eat or drink only cooked foods. You may loose a few more nutrients roasting vs boiling or steaming, but it isn't significant enough to have to consume all of your vegetables raw.

Cooking typically makes food more chemically available.

You only have to worry about a loss of nutrients if you boil the things and then discard the water.

Raw, dipped in salad dressing. Nice for a snack or as a quick vegetable side dish.

I love them; just had some as a side dish last night with a light honey glaze.

Anyone ever put carrots in chili? It sounded weird to me at first but I tried it once and it's actually pretty good. Blends right in and adds texture.

If the only thing holding them together was your mother's ability to cook carrots well, then they didn't really have a very strong marriage to begin with.

Really? I always thought raw celery by itself tasted vaguely of dirty water, if it tasted of anything at all.

I mean I put hot sauce on it sometimes for a snack, but raw celery by itself? No thank you.

If you like it though, more power to you; not tryin' to knock your habits.

Yeah I do sometimes, it works pretty well. Carrots blend well with peppers, same reason you'll find carrot as an ingredient in many hot sauces, especially habanero ones.

>> No.5084522

>>5084482
tastewise the two are pretty close (not spectacular) and I rarely use either in cooking

as for competing textures, I prefer the higher water content in celery

I also enjoy the shape of celery that allows me to scoop peanut butter with it. It's hard to scoop things with carrots.

but I eat raw veggies because I'm lazy, not because I particularly like them

LOL glad I'm not the only one. Raw brocoli gives me the worst fucking gas though...

>> No.5084552

>>5084505
True, I never thought about that (the hot sauce thing).

>>5084526
Ehh I can see where you're coming from but for me, chili is all about being able to experiment. There are so many different kinds of chili that are really good.
