We can take a break from types of cabbage and have some types of nightshade instead.

I like to take my nightshade. French cut them, fry them in some brassica oil until golden brown, then dip them in a sauce made out of different nightshade.

I've always said ketchup really only belongs with potatoes and it makes perfect sense all of the sudden.

Me when asked what I've planted for the spring:

Brassicas. Brassicas everywhere.

These Romans are crazy!

I had to semi-drunkenly explain the brassica family to a drunk friend during the intermission of a burlesque show because she didn't believe me about them. I didn't get all the details right, but eventually she googled it herself and was shocked.

...so its wild cabbage?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Yes, but it's also the common ancestor of kale, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, kohlrabi, and (obviously) farmed cabbage.

All of those foods were bread from the same plant by selecting for different traits.

I've only tried edible cannabis a few times but one of the fun things is the feeling of epiphany once you realise something when you're high. It could be a mundane thought otherwise, but when you have that thought in the high state, it just feels so mind boggling. Your message makes me wish someone told me this while I was high.

I just think they're neat!

I blame the education system
