You know what time it is again?
Cabbage turnip time!!!
Aaaaw yeah! Finally!
There are only two foods that were so good on first try, when I was a child, that that memory seared itself into my brain.
Two things that tasted so mindblowing good to little me.
One was eating a whole grilled rainbow trout at our neighbours place. Their kids were our best friends ar the time, and they invited me and my brother to eat with them sometimes, and that day they were grilling outside. I remember the exact placement of the grill and tables, I remember not knowing how to begin to eat and the dad showing me how, and how to put some lemon on it. (my mom didn't like cooking whole fish, so that was completly new, and it tasted so good it blew my mind)
Thats also how i learned how to prepare and cook it. I watched neighbour mom do it, and have veen doing it the exact same way since.
The other was this:
Cabbage turnip on buttered bread.
I think i was around 9-10 at the time, and we had a little vegetable garden at our school that we learned to take care of. Once something was ready to harvest we'd prepare some for our class.
I remember we were outside on some wooden benches and tables; i remember helping with buttering the bread. And then there were the turnips. The fact that you could just take a vegetable, cut it in slices and put it raw on bread had never crossed my mind before.
So little me took my first bite, and that moment seared itself into my brain. The taste, as well as the crunch when biting into it.
It's not like biting into a carrot, or apple, or pear. It's its own thing and it's such a pleasant sensation.
Still tastes as good now as it did then
