I got to know a lot of those veggies last year when we signed up for a "share" of produce from a local farm. My wife found some good recipes for things like bok choy and garlic scapes, which neither of us had ever heard of before. I wish I hadn't been so stubborn as a kid and had eaten more veggies, because if made right, they really are very tasty. Except Brussels sprouts. Nothing could make those things taste good.
