Adventures with new vegetables
We joined a food co-op this spring. Every week, we order whatever food we want from the group of farms that are delivering this week. I like this arrangement more than a CSA because we don't end up with things we don't like or too much food.
That being said, I have been making an effort to try new food. This week, we bought mescalin mix, orange beauregard sweet potatoes, strawberries, and hanover greens. I made a salad out of the hanover greens tonight and thought it was pretty bitter and not very tasty. Then, I looked up online what they are. Turns out they are turnip greens and most people don't eat them raw. Oops! I'll try frying them with a little olive oil, onion and garlic later this week.
If you have a different suggestion for them (or anything else), please let me know!
