I don’t really like broccoli unless roasted. You may have tried already, but if not, broccoli and cauliflower are way different after a good oven roasting with oil, salt, and pepper.
Yeah, same here. I pretty much hate any vegetable that’s been steamed into mush – aka how my parents always cooked them. Roasting is the shit for almost anything, otherwise I’d rather just eat my vegetables raw. I’ve recently been making a raw broccoli salad with scallions, bacon bits and cole slaw dressing and it’s fantastic.
oh yeah. my biggest life goal is to eat one of everything (with my last meal being something that i’m REALLY not supposed to eat, like a truck) to maintain my position on the food chain so like i didn’t totally need the encouragement, but i think it moved up a few steps
I think we can work with that, I’ve got a couple shuttle O-rings (not those ones) you could absolutely consume without issue. It’s probably not good to eat sharp parts like screws, but chunks of the heat tiles could be put in a pepper mill and used as a topping that way, or as a filler in a dense baked good like a scone. You could also eat any of the shielding foils, the gold foil used to protect against radiation especially would be totally safe and quite decorative.
I was thinking of the RCC tiles, probably should have considered that the white ones would just be health problems city. But the carbon fibers in the RCC ones are bound pretty completely in graphite, so from all the reading I just did (please help me I desperately need a job all this free time is going to kill me) it should be safe to eat those so long as they’re not reduced to, say, a fine dust. Ground down to the consistency of cornmeal though, I can’t find anything that indicates it would be a particular risk?
I’m not sure if anyone’s see it before, but romanesco broccoli looks absolutely stunning.
Mmmmm, fractal broccoli…
It’s tasty, too – and I fucking hate regular broccoli and cauliflower.
There’s an orange variant of this which tastes the same but is even cooler-looking.

What’s that one called D:
“Orange romanesco”
Somewhat counterintuitively: orange romanesco.
Fractals all the way down

i can’t eat some broccoli but i want to eat this just for the math
It’s like a less offputting cauliflower, I really recommend it. It’s both beautiful, and quite tasty.

Who wouldn’t love to tuck into a big bowl of Mac & Cheese on their deathbed?
i don’t just want to be on top of the food chain, i want to be ON TOP. like if someone could bring me part of a space shuttle or something

i was thinking the heating tiles specifically but those might be a little too fiberglassy for anything besides a last meal.
