True, if I want crunchy vegetables I will just eat them raw. How long do aubergines take then? We shallow fried them... Day before we grilled them for 10 mins or so and that seemed to do. Can you even fry aubergines? I am such a rubbish cook. I hope I haven't inadvertently poisoned my boyfriend.EastEnder said:All vegetables should be cooked until they're on the verge of disintegrating.
Ignore all that "al dante" bollocks - that's just French for "not cooked properly".

Grubbcumber you can eat raw, although cooking it takes the prickle out of the spikes. Flodgeberry is poisonous if eaten raw, so cook that. Dwangpickle evaporates if cooked, so raw is the way forward there.

Me too - think I got the taste for them in the same way though can remember as a small child visiting someone's farm, plucking potatoes from the ground and eating them soil and all. I'll still succumb to the urge and chomp away at a raw spud, much like an apple, if the mood takes me. Yes, it's not supposed to be great for you but I have a great diet otherwise.
Rhubarb contains oxalic acid (I think), the same as spinach, which means it inhibits the uptake of calcium. Which, if any of this is correct, I take to mean if you had rhubarb and custard you wouldn't absorb the calcium from the milk. I may be talking outta my arse though...
Most OLIVES should never be eaten raw as they are similar to sloes in that they dry your mouth right out. There is at least one black variety though, quite small as olives go, that you can eat from the ground where they've fallen.

Raw potato gives me the gwibbets - it's connected with the uneven nature of the surface of the spud, the brown fissures acting in a similar fashion to the surface of the Sun around March and April.

Some people say they're poisonous if they're green. Others say you'd have to eat a lot of green potato to suffer harm.
They're just nasty. Especially when there were raw bits in the mashed potato at school.

live and learn eh?!
ahhh, school dinners...lumpy, crunchy, raw, burnt and wrong...i managed to hit a rounders ball into the kitchen at my primary school (a very small primary school with the playground right next to the kitchen so it was very probably a frequent occurence) that was never found...wonder if it made it's way into the mashed tatts?!

No not poisonous, but humans can only digest a certain amount of starch...

I remember being told that the green poison is killed by cooking, but I'd rather check that first.

the leaves of rhubarb are poisonous because of the large amount of oxalic acid and should never be eaten, but the stalks, which we eat are not poisonous because there is very little oxalic acid. I don't know about spinach but sorrell contains some oxalic acid, but you would have to eat an awful lot of it for any side effect. as for the rhubarb and custard, you are probably correct about the arse statement

Raw rhubarb stalks are no problem, just avoid the leaves. There is however something else that makes it inadvisable to eat in large quantities over prolonged periods tho but that won't show-up till you are much older.
Potato contains a whole load of glycoalkaloids & other toxic substances. Particualrly Solanine and Chaconine, which are particularly concentrated in the green ones. If it was introduced today, there is no way the tattie would be considered fit for human consumption. Interestingly, Solanine is also considered good for sufferers of some joint conditions so despite its toxicity, sufferers are advised to try drinking tattie juice. Bleurgh!
