Cooked quinoa?

[Steve]

But many raw ingredients taste unpleasant if not prepared in a sympathetic manner. Kale is yuck, but sautéed with a little garlic and grated cheddar cheese… It’s intrinsic flavour is still present, but it’s synthesised into some nice…like make up and nice clothes. Kale tastes like any other brassica, it’s the stem’s fibrous. stringy texture that makes me gip (wretch).

The BBC’s radio ‘Food Programme’ found that some traditionally bitter foods like grapefruit and brassicas were having this bitterness bred out of then as young people will not eat them. They seem to have no problem imbibing alcohol which is bitter!

Hmmm… melted cheddar cheese as Einstein suggested!

Totally. Another example, Candied citrus peels taste great. But you have to boil them like 3 or 4 times to get the bitterness out. I make a big batch every year around Xmas.

All that to say, cheese is good but much like bacon, it doesn’t have to be in everything.

I've never eaten rhubarb, so can't comment on that. But kale is one of the foods I have that opinion of-Kale does not taste good on its own. Therefore it's not a good food. When you add other things, those are what you're tasting that taste good.

Potatoes do taste good on their own. When you add other things like butter, cheese, bacon, etc., you are making it taste better.

^the above is obviously my culinary tastes. I'm sure someone out there thinks kale tastes awesome by itself, and potatoes are disgusting.

Lol I like kale. I can eat it by itself lol. Potatoes too? Ahhhhh Potatoes are the best. But then again I'm from the south lol

What did Einstein say about cheese, Steve? What did he say? It goes with everything!

(You can preface any statement with ’…as Mahatma Gandhi/Aristotle/Einstein/Oscar Wilde/Noel Coward/PG Wodehouse once said…’ and immediately appear erudite and unquestionable! Try it! As Oscar Wilde once said ‘don’t put off today what you can do in a bush’.

As the great 20th century poet, David Bowie, said in the song Under Pressure, "Mm-bah-dah, Dum-dum-bah-beh, Doo-ba-dum-ba-beh-beh."

He’s not on the approved list so, as Aristotle said, ‘…it doesn‘t count.’

I don't know if it's been said yet, but quinoa needs to be rinsed and/or soaked to remove the bitter coating if it hasn't been done before you bought it (some will come pre-processed in this way). It's also a lot better if you toast it lightly before cooking it in my opinion.

Toasting it in butter... before adding the liquid. totally worth it.
