there is little in this world that a pinch of salt and a big dollup of butter can't fix :0)
with this one hit wonder recipe for any vegetable My 3 and 6 year old boys happily eat beets, asperagus, broccoli, cauliflower, zuchini....etc.....
whether vegetable or greens or weeds, they do tend to taste nasty cooked. for me anything that is pallatable must have some sort of salt and fat for my tongue to taste it.
Your totaly right, food is not healthy if it tastes bad... cause no one will eat it. Food also has to look good. no one will eat a plate full of slimey, green/brown, gritty, steaming, earthy smelling, slop! you have got to put some grated cheese or chopped nuts or
bacon crumbles or cream sauce on top.
Although I do consider my sauteed lambs quarters with carmalized onions f@#$&%g awesome!
