If they're straight frozen, it's not too long. Frozen veggies in steamable bags have instructions that say 5-7 minutes, depending on microwave wattage.im sorry what? that seems way too long.

I'm not saying you're wrong but like looking at the rest of the absolute shit she bought I don't think saving money is a massive concern. If the difference between being able to afford food and not is a bit of broccoli then would you really be buying overpriced name brand cereal and fizzy drinks? I get not being able to afford good food but like she is just choosing to spend money on absolute shit. In that hypothetical broccoli situation she isn't being forced to buy the frozen shit because it's all she can afford, she's just prioritising absolute 0 substance junk that's probably twice as expensive as the equivalent own brand version. Plus if you're buying that much frozen shit in bulk then you have to deal with the electricity cost of a massive fridge too. Over here the frozen shit is nowhere near 1/3rd the price, maybe 20% or so cheaper. I mean she's buying fucking plastic disposable tableware and bottled water (in a not terrible looking house so I assume the tap water is good), I don't think money is a massive concern. It's not that she can't afford fresh or even frozen veg, it's that she can't budget for it and/or is too retarded to understand that existing on only sugary slop is bad for your health. I watched the full video and genuinely at least 3/4ths of what she bought is just absolute shit, it's just all fucking sugary drinks and name brand cereal. For every one sensible pack of prawns or whatever she bought 5 sugary empty calorie doughnuts or overpriced sauces. Cut out the absolute slop she bought and you could afford fresh everything even out of season. Almost all she bought is just void of any substance, might be 1000usd of 'groceries' but you'd starve in less than a week.I know where I live you can either buy ~2 heads of (questionable quality) fresh broccoli or 6 bags of frozen florettes, and that's on top of the fact the nearest grocery store is 30 minutes drive away. When your average household income is less than half the national poverty level, yeah, you eat a lot of cheap food that's easy to buy in bulk once a month when it's on sale.
Food is so expensive in some areas that the idea of feeding tough steaks to your dogs instead of making it into a shitty stew you force everyone to eat for a week straight would genuinely piss people off.
Depends on the veggie really. Corn, creamed or just kernels in butter sauce, is fine. I don't like frozen broccoli, though, it cooks up limp and depressing. It's okay for a stew but still better fresh. Some things, like vegetable mixes for stir fry or other specialty things, are fine. Even then, unless I'm feeling really lazy, I'm still going to chop up fresh myself.I live in civilisation now and still have them in the freezer if I can't be fucked when making dinner. Genuinely don't understand frozen veggie hate.
Frozen corn is great. No one should hate frozen vegetables, but I can't tell you how much I hate CANNED VEGETABLES. Not beans, but things like green beans, corn, peas, which always turn into mushy slop with a metallic aftertaste.Depends on the veggie really. Corn, creamed or just kernels in butter sauce, is fine.

Something I actually do like is herbs like cilantro or basil or oregano, preserved in EVOO and frozen in little cubes. This also works well with garlic. The olive oil keeps it from freezer burning.
I'll also blend all the ingredients for basil pesto but pine nuts and Parmigiano Reggiano and freeze them in cubes, then add the pine nuts and cheese after thawing them out. Or you can just freeze entirely done pesto, but I think it's better to add the cheese and pine nuts after thawing because they lose a bit of their oomph.
Bouillabaisse is french... also its pretty tasty.I love seafood but seafood boils have become such a meme and melanated individuals who didn't know this shit existed two years ago act like they're experts and get really snobby about it because it's they culture
why would you eat broccoli at all? are you 5 and forced by your mom to eat it?Especially something like broccoli, shit lasts long enough that freezing it just seems like a waste.
frozen is the only way for green beans,kale and small onions.Some things, like vegetable mixes for stir fry or other specialty things, are fine. Even then, unless I'm feeling really lazy, I'm still going to chop up fresh myself.
I would think that too had I only ever tried frozenwhy would you eat broccoli at all? are you 5 and forced by your mom to eat it?
worst vegetable ever!
Broccoli is god-tier among cruciferous vegetables.I would think that too had I only ever tried frozen
I seriously dislike drowning broccoli in cheese. That said, a hollandaise or a light lemon butter sauce are great. Broccoli shouldn't be limp, but lightly steamed until hot but still with a crunch.Someone hasn't eaten three portions of cheese covered broccoli and wanted to fuck a friend's mom.
Frozen broccoli is one of the only vegetables I like. Most vegetables taste somewhat bitter, especially raw, even after having been completely off sugar for months. I am a bit of a snowflake however.
Frozen broccoli is so good though. Add some beef - even ground if that's what you've got, a little garlic and ginger, a bunch of low sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos, a bit of corn starch to thicken everything up and you have a simple, cheap beef and broccoli. Serve with rice or noodles. So delicious.
Frozen broccoli also chops easily once cooked, you can just use a ground beef chopper. Add it to some scrambled eggs with onions and mushrooms and some salt and pepper. Vegetables and protein right there.
the only thing worse is Cauliflower...Broccoli is god-tier among cruciferous vegetables.
thats how you eat asparagusThat said, a hollandaise or a light lemon butter sauce are great.
its not bitter, its disgusting in texture and taste.Broccoli is one of the few vegetables people WOULD consider bitter. Bell peppers (anything but green), carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, corn, certain onions, beets. Broccoli though? Never considered that particularly sweet and I like it.
Fresh or roasted cauliflower is wonderful. I'm beginning to suspect you're a nigger and your only exposure to these foods was in the school cafeteria and prison.the only thing worse is Cauliflower...
Cauliflower is second best to broccoli.the only thing worse is Cauliflower...
It's also great with asparagus. The problem is asparagus has to be done absolutely perfectly or it's garbage. Broccoli has no such deficiencies. It is pretty okay even if done imperfectly.thats how you eat asparagus
This stuff is just excellent in anything that calls for something leafy and cabbage-y, including raw in a salad.its not bitter, its disgusting in texture and taste.
Kale is slightly bitter, but the best vegetable for stew
that sounds like a skill issue. you need to blanche them first and than roast them in animal fat. goose or lard are very good.It takes some kind of culinary wizardry to make these things even edible and not spit them out and curse whoever served you them awful.
you eat it raw? like an animal?This stuff is just excellent in anything that calls for something leafy and cabbage-y, including raw in a salad.
we arguing about the worst parts of family.Fun fact: all the vegetables we're arguing about (which no nigger would ever eat), other than asparagus, are cultivars of exactly the same species: brassica oleracea.
It is a skill issue, and one only the French seem to have mastered.that sounds like a skill issue. you need to blanche them first and than roast them in animal fat. goose or lard are very good.
Kale? Definitely. It's great in any form, much like arugula and spinach.you eat it raw? like an animal?
I'm not going to disagree on radish although my favorite is daikon.we arguing about the worst parts of family.
crisps spicy radish is the best part of the family.
you arent supposed to eat uncooked kale or spinach. Arugula is the other way around, only eat it fresh.It's great in any form, much like arugula and spinach.
Daikon is just to mildI'm not going to disagree on radish although my favorite is daikon.
Spinach salad with a bacon dressing is ultimate spinach. That said, I even like canned spinach.you arent supposed to eat uncooked kale or spinach. Arugula is the other way around, only eat it fresh.
It's mild, subtle, but exquisite. Also we're kind of derailed into talking about great foods no nigger would ever eat.Daikon is just to mild
