    If you roasted them all up and ate them directly off, I believe botanically it would be a cob.

    are all the varieties of brassica oleracea human-bred or are they wild variations

    Most probably, all are from human cultivation.

    One day I will seek out the ancestral Ur-Brassica, just for interest's sake

    it's probably awful.

    Pretty much every edible plant that tastes good is descended from some plant that was non-lethal and edible enough that ancestral humans started going "okay, but what if we made a version of you that doesn't taste like my own ass."

    Most of the exceptions I can think of are fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or coconuts (and even then the domesticated versions have been selectively bred to become better food for us compared to their wildtype counterparts).

    I don't think I've ever had a baguette

    I've had like. Breads from the bakery before but.

    I dunno those just seem too crusty for me. Really inconvenient shape.

    I once knew a woman who spent a semester in France mostly subsisting on baguettes and brie. What you do is cut the baguette down the center line and then just sort of smush the brie in there and that's lunch. That's the way to enjoy a baguette.

    Anyway, I bake loaves that are more or less the homemade version of Wonderbread twice a month, baguettes don't really have a big role in my cuisine, but that's what I've been told.

    One of my favourite meals is a beef kofta curry with "cav aloo", which is cavolo nero, a type of kale, and potatoes. So I refute the kale bashing, kale can be good.

    Yeah kale is great cooked, but not raw, in a drink.

    I feel like that applies to a lot of things

    I let our calabrese go to seed last year once we were done harvesting it, because the bees love the flowers, and this year I had loads of self-seeded brassica seedlings come up in that area. They all looked really different to the seedlings of the parent plant because I guess they reverted. I didn't have space to let them continue growing to see how they would turn out.

    I also have a couple of self-seeded tomato plants and I'm letting one of those grow because I'm curious if it will fruit and if so how it will compare to the parent plant, because they're all hybrids too.

    Myself and my partner made the fresh baguette with butter and brie from Twin Peaks several times now and I can attest it is absolutely delicious.

    Round 14: The Patty Wagon

    r7ff7m67d6iz.png

    Price: $14.15 with corn nuggets. It's about two dollars cheaper if you want to get fries instead of corn nuggets, because I suppose there's no actual law against being a coward.
    Toppings and condiments: Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, red onions, ketchup, mayo, cheddar cheese.
    Decent local beer on tap: None. Served at home with a Stonecloud Tortoise Head Imperial Coffee Stout

    The Patty Wagon was one of the earlier entrants into the OKC food truck gold rush of 2011-14, alongside such icons as Big Truck Tacos and Waffle Champion. Like them, the Patty Wagon eventually purchased a brick-and-mortar location and parked the truck except for catering and special events, leaving behind a pun name that doesn't really work except to confuse out of towners. One of the Patty Wagon's major draws has always been a reputation for quality locally-sourced ingredients, particularly its Black Angus patties and its buns, which are made daily at a bakery right up the street.

    The patty is fairly flat and wide without being an actual smashburger. It's got a nice brown crust on the outside at the expense of a well-done middle which is drier than I prefer. The veggies are all good quality, although the pickles are pretty understated. The onions, while cut into rings, are sliced very thin and applied evenly enough that they're not the grave error they would be in a thicker cut. The cheese rules, probably the sharpest cheddar I've encountered on my Burger Quest.

    The real make-or-break for whether you love this burger or hate it is the bun. Instead of the usual white bread or brioche buns, these are dense and slightly sweet, like a giant Hawaiian roll. They provide enough structural integrity to allow for some pretty ambitious specialty burgers, including the only Frito pie burger I've ever had that can comfortably be eaten by hand without causing a huge mess. They work well paired with salty ingredients like Fritos or bacon or blue cheese crumbles, but the house pickles on the regular cheeseburger are not up to the task of cutting the sweetness. If it wasn't for the bun's pronounced flavor profile, their stupid burger with bean dip, Fritos, chili, cheddar and roasted jalapenos would be one of my favorite burgers in town. As it is, it's more of a mood food than a consistent craving.

    The corn nuggets are battered and deep-fried little wads of roasted corn and cayenne pepper, and we're in love and we're running away together.

    Overall, I'd say the Patty Wagon is about neck-and-neck with Tucker's. Both high-quality choices that are nice to have if I happen to be driving by, but not a destination in themselves. I'll give Tucker's the nod based on the buns and the fact that Tucker's mascot is a good dog and the Patty Wagon has this asshole:

    Is there a bunch of mayo in there? Because, to me, elotes have too much goddamn mayo, so when I get them I have to scrape half of it off.
