TBF getting high quality and well prepared veggies is hard and it’s expensive. the stuff sold in mass supermarkets is mid at best and that’s what most people have access to.
I grew up on awful quality veggies that tasted like shit, because my mom boiled and steamed everything and added no seasoning. also she did this with frozen stuff and we never had fresh. a lot of canned shit too that tasted awful.
this is the reason i never enjoyed vegetables until I was in college. they thought I was this shitty picky kid… but they were just awful cooks who prepared awful food.
when i took some pro cooking classes the chef asked me if my parents ever cooked with salt, because he was shocked how little i used…
I still use a lot of frozen veggies–not as good as locally sourced fresh ones, but with decent seasoning and cooking them properly, they’re still good. Not sure why people thought boiling everything was the answer for however many decades there…
because they were stupid and they thought trying new things made you into a homosexual.
my parents were amazingly stupid people.
