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

          It’s like a less offputting cauliflower, I really recommend it. It’s both beautiful, and quite tasty.

            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 was thinking the heating tiles specifically but those might be a little too fiberglassy for anything besides a last meal.

        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.

          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.

            I don’t really like broccoli unless roasted.

            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.

            Somewhat counterintuitively: orange romanesco.
