Hi guys,

I'd appreciate some help in identifying this vegetable.

Over the weekend I had a nice vegetable kebab served with naan bread
and a spicy tomato sauce. Anyway, the kebab had courgettes, green
pepper, red pepper and a mystery vegetable which I never got the chance
to ask anyone about.

The mystery vegetable was white in colour and cut into cubes. It had a
rubbery like texture and, this may sound odd, but I could hear it
squeaking against my teeth as I chewed it! I would describe it as
having a savoury taste.

If anyone could make suggestions as to what this vegetable was it would
be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gared

My first guess is Daikon, the Asian large white radish. I don't think
of its having a rubbery texture but maybe that was a result of how it
was cut for the kebab. -aem

Welcome Gared --

I don't think it was a vegetable at all. It sounds like paneer, an Indian
cheese, that is used with vegetarian meals and can be prepared in a variety
of ways.

Many thanks for all the replies, folks.

I had a look online and it seems like it was paneer.

Thanks again!

Isn't tofu a vegetable? Could've been cubed mirliton.

I'd guess turnip, based on how a former neighborhood Indian buffet chose
their vegetables. Turnip turned up (sorry!) in many of their stews and
can be squeaky. jan

Well, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he was distracted when
that post showed up. Maybe he was deep into trying to decipher the meaning
of Marilyn Manson's "Smells Like Children" and he couldn't apply his full
attention to what he was reading -- and being so stupid, unless he *does*
apply his full attention, the post might as well be decorative patterns on
the computer screen rather than text, it means nothing at all to him. (Even
when he does apply his full attention, he fails to comprehend at least 75%
of what he reads. When people point out his misinterpretation, he gets all
butt-hurt and accuses *them* of not understanding.)

Like many of us on this group, Stu is just trying to learn more about
cooking. He hasn't tried to pass himself off as an expert.

When it comes to Indian cooking, Stu's expertise is more in taking
cooking videos off somebody else's site and transferring them to his.

Not so clueless as including every ingredient one can type on a page
for keyboard kooking.

It's obviously a white-chocolate truffle. I thought Daikon, too. Love those. MIN!

Try having unaged cheese curds some time. If there's a cheese factory
around they will have some for sale. It's available in stores in
Wisconsin. Unaged cheese curds make that squeak against the teeth.
It's very a distinctive sound.

A Hindu friends called it "yogurt cheese". I don't know if that's a
strange translation or a description that it is fermented with the same
culture as yogurt. However it has been fermented from milk to cheese it
is still unaged to have that squeak.

My favorite use for paneer - Sag paneer is a spiced spinach stew with
paneer cubes.

Maybe because some thick-witted dullard wrote stupidly, "where's the post, I
don't see it in the thread." So you stupidly ignored his correct answer
early in the thread, then questioned the existence of his post, and took a
tone as if he had made the whole thing up. His easy answer showed you for
the marble-headed clod you are.

In short, you were pwned again.

I don't understand. Am I the only person in the entire Universe that
has a newsreader command like "Open All References", that opens all the
preceding posts in the thread?

(That was a rhetorical question, in case you were wondering. A standard
header is "References:", which gives the message IDs of preceding posts,
making it a trivial programming task to implement that command.)

And, if a post isn't in that sub-thread, I have a Search command that
will spit out the whole thread in a couple of minutes.

And there is Google.

I see the whole thread in my default view (threads that have unread
messages). That way I can see who's involved in the subthread which gives
me a clue as to whether I would want to read it.

When I open a thread and see that it contains predomently like 6-8-10
posts in a row from the same person I delete the entire thread unread.

Stew is full of these classic juvenile comebacks. But he doesn't
know where to use them. He just goes down the list and picks one
sentence or paragraph blindly and retypes it here thinking it's some
sort of proof as to his literary style and wit. And even if it were
placed correctly, it would still fall flat. but for now they're all
just head-scrathers that make you go, "huh?".

Simpleminded is a drastic understatement.

ObFood: Lunch was a hot cappicola, Swiss, roasted red pepper strips,
romaine lettuce, and unexpired mayonnaise on white bread.

That's funny, it used to work for him in fourth grade. Jimmy would
tease him, and he'd say, "Like you should talk Jimmy". Jimmy didn't
know what that meant, so that shut him up. Jimmy asked his dad, but
when his dad found out that Jimmy was picking on poor Stu, dad
threatened to whap Jimmy until he couldn't sit down for a week.

i find it pretty easy to 'talk blake,' but i can see how it might be hard
for others.

Yeah, besides that. Perhaps you don't understand (or don't remember).
