Turns out I don’t actually dislike vegetables, I just dislike how my mother’s and grandmother make them. Did you know they can be served with colour still on them?
Do you mean to tell me vegetables can be cooked some other way besides boiling? And you can put seasoning on them?!? My grandfather would be disgusted by the thought.
I got fucking microwave steamed frozen veggies with no seasoning at all not even butter and if I didn’t eat the freezer burnt slop I wasn’t allowed to leave the table.
I get the microwaved steamed veggies now. But I at least toss them in some olive oil or butter and season them. Usually I’ll microwave them halfway to thaw them then fry them in some oil to get a nicer char. Not gourmet, but perfectly fine.

Boggles my mind oven roasted asparagus and broccoli were not a thing as a child.

Even boiled vegetables taste good if you don’t go stupid mode about it.

I used to stir fry my veggies, but they’d end up soft due to the resulting moisture.
Then I baked them in the oven hoping that’d be better, but I’d overcook them just a bit and they’d be too hard.
I finally decided to air fry my veggies, and they were juuuuuuuuuuuuust right!
