As one that eats with his eyes, the article you directed us to didn’t entice me to any experiments with dreaded vegetables.
The one thought I had was that your mother has in the past two years served up two vegetables I like in their normal form, as mashed vegetables. Mashed limas and mashed cauliflower. Both are surprisingly good served as if they were mashed potatoes…a dish few children refuse.
I wonder how mashed “tree”, peas, or carrots would taste?
