When I was an ordinary dumb kid, I took a bunch of cattails from a pond nearby and put them in my desk at school. Well - a couple days later, they decided to "bloom" and we had a desk inspection and when I opened my desk up, the room filled with big fluffy cotton spores. I got yelled at for a solid hour, I'd never seen my teacher so angry. And I'm like, what's the big deal?? It's free cotton candy and it's pretty!!

I like the cut of your jib.

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I want to see that on video

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah but just don't get caught. Turns out teachers don't like having their classroom filled with fluffy seed spores.

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.

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.

You still have to cook them silly

Nah these babies go in the toaster

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

Post a picture with a bite mark, coward

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.

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Lorindol@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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 2 years ago

That does sound tasty.

[–] Slowy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Can't they?.. 😭

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

🤝 indeed they can

Corndogs for the pickin'

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

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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