The horror!

Honestly, battered broccoli would probably go hard.
Honestly charcoal broccoli with salt and cumin is amazing and people love it at my bbqs
That sounds so delicious!
I mean if they HAVE to have one, an easy choice is cauliflower. It’s a neutral tasting vegetable that can be turned into mashed paste or other forms. It already finds itself in several recipes and uses.
Other than that, I wish more places in the world did fried zucchini
I went to a restaurant recently that had fried cauliflower in a sesame sauce or something. It was pretty good and I normally don’t like cauliflower.
Satay sauce on cauliflower is awesome
Cannot disagree more.
I love all sorts of veg, but cauliflower has a very distinct earthy taste that cuts through anything.
Its not neutral. Its depression incarnate.
There’s a store near me that sells it, and hell yes, throw them in an air fryer and dip em in a spicy sauce. 🤩
Go hard into the bin, alongside my Dad’s infamous Boxing Day sprout stir fry.
Sliced into planks it’s basically tempura
A friend of mine slices up and fries the broccoli stalks and swears they’re as good as bamboo shoots in a stir fry.
They are.
Baked broccoli is amazing. Toss it in some olive oil and salt and pepper and then roast at 400F until the “leaves” start to char.
If you can do this in a wood fired oven, even better
Veggie tempura. So yes
Mushy peas did at least start out as a vegetable.
Allegedly. That’s before they submerged them in melted green crayon.
Oh right, I forgot those exist.
Why don’t they count as veg?
Also, if you want to sell birroa tacos, do you have to serve with carrots now? If you sell hot dogs you also have to serve with whole decorative compliance onions?
Why don’t they count as veg?
Maybe they’re regarded as ‘ultra-processed’. Like a lot plant-based meals in supermarkets aren’t actually any healthier than the thing they’re replacing, because they’ve had the shit kicked out of them by the industrial process.
“Mushy peas are dried marrowfat peas which are first soaked overnight in water with baking soda, and then rinsed in fresh water, after which the peas are gathered in a saucepan, covered with water, and brought to a boil, and then simmered until the peas are softened. The mush is seasoned with salt and pepper.”
So that’s not more or less how they’re made for a chippy?
Ideally, I suppose. But maybe they boil them like my Gran used to boil veg - until there’s barely any nutrition left in them. And then add artificial colours and preservatives and whatnot. It’s like if you make bread at home, then it’s reasonably healthy, but it’s difficult to buy bread that isn’t essentially junk food, because they’ll do anything to make the rise process quicker (including throwing in a bunch of sugar).
But chips are vegetables
Potatoes and tomato ketchup. Sorted.
Onions are vegetables and would make for awesome onion rings/blooming onions.
The reason is because the local area has a problem with obesity. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c361zw6j3wgo
Torn between the Daily Fail’s love of hating on the poor and it’s rather worried headlines on the obesity crisis it chooses to go with the click bait. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12822721/Is-time-slap-smoking-style-restrictions-junk-food-Sobering-charts-lay-bare-reality-UKs-worsening-obesity-crisis-amid-claim-nations-bulging-waistline-costing-100billion-year-FIVE-times-tobacco.html
This is how tempura was invented.
Tbh I have wanted something like this for ages. Is annoying if you want fish and chips and you can’t get any fresh veg with it as a palate cleanser.

At a chippy though?
Have a brown bread butty with it and call it a day.

I’m not sure a chippy has ever been marketed as “a meal”.
It’s for when you want about 4 different kinds of carbs and some grease.
These sad Welsh fucks have never heard of fried pickles
Or mushy peas.
Literally a bunch of man-babies who doesn’t want to eat their vegetables.
An alarmingly large part of public discourse in the west happens on that level
