Brussels sprouts, not the small bitter little bitches, but the big, fat, tiny cabbages cut in half and fried, tossed with sea salt and a sweet/sour or sweet/hot sticky sauce is so good you’ll want to punch a baby in the face.
Cauliflower, pickled, tossed with cornstarch and fried, top with bbq sauce. OR toss with oil, salt, curry powder and roast will make you question your previous life and the regrets of time wasted not shoveling it into your face hole.
