Oh, if we are gonna do a vegetable war, mine is a watermelon.
Yes. You heard that right.
All trains derailed.
Watermelon, the vegetable.
As chosen by Oklahoma for its state vegetable.
I swear to god, this state gets more brain damaged the more I hear about it.
Hello. Welcome to my mini rant aboot leeks, green onion, garlic chives and negi. These four common ingredients (common depending on where you are in the world) are so offen confused for one another in naming or looks.
In terms of taste, green onion and negi taste pretty much the same. The main difference is that negi is larger. Green onion, leek and garlic chives taste nothing alike so it would be pretty bad to confuse one for the other in cooking.
In terms of how they look, negi and leek can look similar. However the green part of leek is flat while they are cylindrical for negi. Negi also tends to have a longer white part.
Garlic chives, often mistakenly called leeks, look nothing like leek. They are pretty small, each is a bit smaller than a green onion and the leaf part are flat.
Garlic chives are sometimes called chinese leek or just leek for short. Meanwhile negi is sometimes depicted in japanese media and then mistakenly identified as leek by the west.
The general rule is that leeks are actually pretty uncommon in China and Japan, so if you see leek mentioned in chinese or japanese anything, triple check that they are actually referring to leek and not negi or garlic chives.
Also the popular leek spin gif depicts negi and not leek. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
I love this shit dude, now I know more about people and onions and cultures and therefore art and history and everything then I would have cause you took the time today.
Fucking good deal for everybody IMO
And we (humankind as a whole I mean) thank you for your service today
I fucking LIVE and BREATH for this shit on the internet every day. Idgaf.
Gosh! I hope there were no kids on that train!
If there were, I’d assume they would be crying.
Y’know, because of the onion…
We’ve added corn and onions to the soup. What other vegetables should we add?
