Discovering just how many vegetables are all brassica was a lot similar to when I found out that all real tea (black/green/white/oolong) is the exact same plant.
I assume you're getting at the extremely vast number of cultivars included in capsicum annuum. There are lots of popular cultivars included in capsicum frutescens and chinense though.
oh yeah. my biggest life goal is to eat one of everything (with my last meal being something that i'm REALLY not supposed to eat, like a truck) to maintain my position on the food chain so like i didn't totally need the encouragement, but i think it moved up a few steps
I think we can work with that, I've got a couple shuttle O-rings (not those ones) you could absolutely consume without issue. It's probably not good to eat sharp parts like screws, but chunks of the heat tiles could be put in a pepper mill and used as a topping that way, or as a filler in a dense baked good like a scone. You could also eat any of the shielding foils, the gold foil used to protect against radiation especially would be totally safe and quite decorative.
I don’t really like broccoli unless roasted. You may have tried already, but if not, broccoli and cauliflower are way different after a good oven roasting with oil, salt, and pepper.
Yeah, same here. I pretty much hate any vegetable that's been steamed into mush -- aka how my parents always cooked them. Roasting is the shit for almost anything, otherwise I'd rather just eat my vegetables raw. I've recently been making a raw broccoli salad with scallions, bacon bits and cole slaw dressing and it's fantastic.
I recently took in one of these that was found on commercial produce, and turns out they will starve themselves to death if they've learned about the most premium crucifers and are denied them.

All look the same as a silhouette.

We know they follow a fractal pattern.
As do dinosaurs, which ate the big trees, and (in chicken nugget form) eat the small broccoli trees too
Nature is beautiful.

You are what you eat, so dinosaurs are a type of broccoli too.

Wait until you find out about peppers, especially bell. Yellow red and green…

Except for Red/Rooibos tea which is a Fabaceae legume like soybeans, peanuts, and liquorice.

There's mate, which is a different species: Ilex Paraguariensis vs. Camellia Sinensis.

I'm not sure if anyone's see it before, but romanesco broccoli looks absolutely stunning.

i can't eat some broccoli but i want to eat this just for the math
Warl0k3@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 330d
It's like a less offputting cauliflower, I really recommend it. It's both beautiful, and quite tasty.

i don't just want to be on top of the food chain, i want to be ON TOP. like if someone could bring me part of a space shuttle or something

Mmmmm, fractal broccoli....
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 331d
It's tasty, too -- and I fucking hate regular broccoli and cauliflower.
There's an orange variant of this which tastes the same but is even cooler-looking.

Is it though?
I can often tell a Brassica species just by looking at it. Redwood seems entirely dissimilar am I dumb and missing a joke here or what?
stray@pawb.social · 12 pts · 331d
No, the joke is that people would potentially believe anything about brassicas at this point because everything else is a brassica.
