Does anyone remember Scorpions? I used to play their songs on guitar when I was a kid! My husband was humming Wind of Change yesterday, so I decided I’ll give a few of their songs a listen after 25 years or so. Honestly, it still rocks. They aged well.
Sometimes on cooking subs you see people having math problem amounts of some ingredient. “I got 6 lbs of carrots, what do I do??” (I think the most extreme I have seen was someone acquiring 5 kg of vanilla pods, which seems a bit like money laundering). Often people wonder how it’s possible, but if you have a garden, it’s super possible. I just saw that my husband collected an entire bag of sugar snap peas. The Swiss chard also needs a haircut. god the beans are already three meters high. I still have frozen beans from last year (which I should probably cook.)
So, if you guys have recipes for beetroot, chard, sugar snap peas, green beans, please let me know.
Also, maybe unpopular opinion but the German word for vegetable is just so ugly. Gemüse sounds like something mashed and overcooked and unappealing. The Turkish word sebze comes from Persian sabz, which means green and fresh.
What’s your word for vegetable? What’s the etymology?
