Vegan?

[Goatboy]

I have a couple of rules on vegetables though. No brussel sprouts EVER. Celery only as a flavouring in say a mirepoix or roasted peanuts. No shredded lettuce at lunchtime. 'part from that just don't cook 'em 'till there mush.

...unless they're spuds or dried peas

Gotta admit I kinda like stffed celery. But that's hardly vegan is it? What with the great doolops of pimento cheese.

Or boiled peanuts.

What if someone runs over a Brussel sprout plant and it's just lying there?

 

[Reverend Graham]

Then I'd post it to you mate

Every day, millions of innocent plants are murdered by vegans! Please help stop the violence.

The main flavouring in dry roasted peanuts is celery salt. And strangely I love them.

Though Santaman could fill us in better but there are Southern boiled peanut recipes.

 

[santaman2000]

Of course. Doesn't everybody? There's a reason they're called "Goober's Peas." Boil in the shell (prefersably peanuts harvested while still a bit green) Two different recipes:
1. With loads of salt
2. With loads of spicy Cajun seasoning

Eat while still hot. And suck the brime out of the shells.

So how do y'all feel about fried green tomatoes?

 

[Toddy]

......we just make chutney

[santaman2000]

Yeah I kinda like chutney too. But that's not sliced, battered (more properly, breaded) and fried.

Tried it after the film of the same name. Loved them, done with a nice light peppery batter. Did wonder about breading, not tried it yet and I like breaded things.

There's as many variations in the basic recipe as there are cooks. I usually just coat with a half & half mix of corn meal & flour (now use gluten free flour cause my daughter's a celiac) with a bit of seasoning (both mixed into said breading and sprinkled on the tomato slices before coating.

Others use bread crumbs. Some soak the tomato slices in buttermilk first. Most serve with a salad dressing to pour over the hot fried slices; the most common are:
-Ranch Dressing
-Bleu cheese Dressing
-Vidalia Onion Dressing

recipe variation I don't like

Hmm hungry now, I eat a lot of tomatoes, too many according to the doctor as it interferes with my warfarin levels. But I do love them and there's lots of other healthy stuff in them.

Buttered sprouts are nice, raw and shredded in salad are good too.

While we're on the subject, I want to make clear that beetroot are in no way to be considered vegetable. They were created in some kind of Victorian steampunk plot to punish the lower classes.
