I was curious so I looked it up: E. coli isn’t more common specifically on romaine lettuce, the reason it keeps showing up there is because you don’t cook lettuce. E. coli can easily show up on any vegetable, but as long as you cook them the bacteria will die. The same goes for salmonella poisoning from vegetables. Washing them doesn’t remove the bacteria, so any vegetable you eat raw has the potential to make you sick, if it’s been contaminated. So that’s fun.
You know Peebs is a good youtuber even when he and Toasty manages to make a vegetable tier list video entertaining, props to all of you, i'm so proud of this community.
Fruits: anything with seeds Vegetables: it's a culinary term so it can be literally anything people agree if it's a vegetable or not Which means that tomatoes, pumpkins, peppers, and cucumbers are all scientifically fruits.
I don't understand his reasoning behind the romaine placement. You can get E Coli. from any of these if they happen to be contaminated with it. Romaine isn't predisposed to containing E Coli. or anything.
#JusticeForArtichokes There's an entire artichoke heart that you eat and it's amazing, so much more than just dipping leaves in butter! You can fry them, roast them, eat it in a dip and it's one of my favorite pizza toppings! 😩
Farmer has bred brussel sprouts so that they're sweeter and to eliminate the bitterness. The fact that Godot's theme played on eggplants is just perfect. "Can you make potato cakes?" Yes, actually. Maple potato doughnut are the best things ever.
Fun fact: the "Carrots improve eyesight" myth was invented in world war 2 when the British (i think) told this to the world to hide the fact that they had radar.
I was at the grocery store today, and while picking up some romaine lettuce, I was standing there thinking, "Better grab some poop lettuce while I'm here."
I’ve never eaten Brussels sprouts before because my only prior exposure to them has been people talking about how gross it is, and now that’s all I can think of when I’m confronted with them.
I'm surprised almost no one has heard of okra. It's easily my favorite out of everything on the list. You can eat it in gumbo; there are tons of Asian dishes that use it. It's not just a fried food. (Technically it's a fruit, though)
Okra is good in some Asian dishes but I don't see many western dishes using them. TBH it makes sense because they only taste good cooked with spices and other veggies.
the eggplant parmesan brought back so many bad memories omg my mom used to make eggplant "chicken nuggets" when we were kids that's like my worst childhood food memory
Did toasty really let peebs get away with calling asparagus seaweed???? Even during his big rant about how asparagus wasn't on the list (it was peebs just thought it was seaweed)
Some of this works pretty well. But I will murder somebody over the placement of romaine, seaweed, celery and onion. D< Romaine: Everything that grows in the ground can come out with poop on it. They use manure to help it grow. xD It's just whether or not a batch is cleaned properly before being distributed. And romaine lettuce is a fantastic topping on sandwiches and an important part of any salad Seaweed: SEAWEED IS THE BEST BRO. Like...it's what keeps everything packed together in sushi! Seaweed deserves nothing but god tier placement, just beneath potato, carrots and broccoli. Celery: Man, I don't know what you're talking about ants on a log was the absolute best treat ever. Celery is FANTASTIC with or without the peanut butter. As a kid I always hated it on principle just because it was "another vegetable people were trying to trick me into eating" but once I actually started eating it, I loved it. Raw >>> cooked, though. Onion: Perhaps your least offensive placement of the four. HOWEVER COMMA I can't stand onions; especially raw onions. It's just too strong in terms of flavor and scent. I like onion rings, though. But onions as a standalone vegetable or topping is just meh.
Man, I felt so bad for missing out on the stream. I had some agreements and disagreements with the list I wanted to add, but I had to pull out so suddenly due to acid reflux I’d been experiencing since the week of the stream (4/19/21-4/25/21). I’m feeling better now.
I agree with you on most things in this... BUT PLEASE TRY PICKLED OKRA IT WILL CHANGE YOUR VIEW COMPLETELY. IT'S LIKE A NORMAL PICKLE BUT MUCH JUICER AND IT HAS LITTLE MINY PICKLES IN IT
Fun fact: Fruits and vegetables aren't mutually exclusive. One is a scientific definition, (whether it has seeds determines if it's a fruit) the other is a culinary definition, (how you use it in cooking determines if it's a vegetable). They are not mutually exclusive groups, there's some overlap like tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers.
