what the FUCK?! explain!!!!

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago

Never played with a cattail? They are comprised of very densly compacted seeds around a central rod/stem attached with fuzzy stuff that expands remarkably when disconnected.

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

That's not even the worst part! First you get a mouth full of fluff, then you get an angry cat scratching your face. 0/10 would not recommend

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Well there's your problem, you're supposed to stick them in your butt silly.

I wish I could tell if this was fake. But I've worked in retail before

Always remember, 50% of the population has an iq < 100 and a significant part of the population doesn't know reflection besides their mirror alter ego.

[-] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

You have to wait until the stalk turns brown. This should be obvious to anybody. I've literally never eaten a ripe corn dog with a green stem.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

You still have to cook them silly

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nah these babies go in the toaster

[-] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Put toaster in fire, but that didn't seem to cook the corndog. Now what?

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 23 points 1 year ago

From what I've read a whole bunch of parts of those plants actually are edible, though I'm not sure if that part in particular is.

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

Yes, it is edible when young, but once the tail is brown like this it is no longer edible. Its core is composed of many tiny seeds covered in tufts of cotton-like filament that it uses to float off and germinate elsewhere.

[-] gullible@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Don’t forget to mention that they’re under pressure! It’s a veritable firehose of seed, not unlike the bathroom at The Round Room.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I've read you can take the seeds and make bread with them. But I recommend no one try just because some Internet people are saying it's possible.

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I storngly recommend taking one of these into your kitchen and tearing all the seeds off inside!

It will be fun trust me

This advice is great for anyone whose favourite card game is 52-pickup.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I've heard it's the roots that are edible, though probably best to cook them first.

[-] Lorindol@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The root is not just edible, it is delicious.

You have to pick the part of the plant just below the waterline, you can just twist and rip it off or use a knife for a clean cut.

Then you remove all the green and cut the white part into small slices (like you'd cut an onion). Then fry the slices in a pan with butter, when the pieces become translucent they're done. Add a little dash of pepper, salt and few drops of lemon juice.

The taste is a bit "almondy", it's great with fried halloumi or beef.

The best time to pick the roots is before Midsummer, after that they're not as tasty.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That does sound tasty.

[-] Slowy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The whole plant is edible it’s just not all palatable all the time

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Post a picture with a bite mark, coward

Mustard is the superior condiment and yes I’ll drive to your house and argue with you in your front yard about it.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Sure if you are out of cheese sauce I guess.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

But is cheese a condiment or a separate food item?

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

I'm American so it's both

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I did not dispute mustard at all. Ketchup and mustard can live in harmony, can't they?

Can't they?.. 😭

[-] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

🤝 indeed they can

That's what you get for not choosing beaver brand

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Corndogs for the pickin'

[-] Hexarei@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Me want bite!

Why was it this post that reminded me I never finished Red Dead Redemption 2?

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

And I wish they would do something about those big mints that they put in the urinals. They taste terrible.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Cake is supposed to be sweet! Whoever made those damn urinal cakes sure loves piss flavoring...

My criticisms to the chef for sure!

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

You have to cook it until the stick turns brown, obviously
