An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Well something i learned is that fat is the thing that convey flavor. Salt/sugar bring them to life. Pepper and spice add flavors.
But if you want textures, vegetables are the way to go.
Mostly vegetarian lifestyle is very very tasty as long as you remember to use a bit a oil, butter, cream, etc
And from where i live, a lot cheaper as well ;)
Humble but effective option:
Add lots if lime, salt and powdered chilli.
A dash of soy sauce and olive oil if you are feeling slightly fancier.
For sure!
Dukkah maybe? Ground nuts, seeds and spices, great with bread and olive oil. Sounds like something you could put on a carrot dish that would be tasty.

Upvoted, because this is a great word and I like seeing it used.
I disagree that vegetables are the sorriest food type, and I'm neither vegan or vegetarian.
The perception that veggies suck comes from people not knowing how to make them (which is how I grew up).
My favorite vegetable dish is ratatouille. On its own it's fantastic, paired with something like crispy oven-baked chicken with basil, parm and panko it really shines.
Sweet chili glazed carrots are incredible.
As are roasted asparagus with balsamic and olive oil.
And potatoes... Well now, that's a whole 'another thing!
The best way to prepare potatoes is by roasting a lamb on top of it for 3+ hours...
Yeah, that was a pretty uncharitable take on my part. I love all those you listed.
You have a point... Most veggies as made/served do suck..
Drunk anything tastes 100x+ better.
As a mostly carnivore/hunter as I aged I did start to enjoy the vegetarian take on some foods.
Tofu, I had no love for it until someone made me spicy (sriracha/Thia chillis) crispy tofu. ITS TO DIE FOR! Now its going to make your brown eye, well bruised but amazing.
Also don't buy from grocery stores, Asian\Latino markets are the place. The veggies last a week or 2 longer than Kroger.
Now I need brussel sprouts and Sunomono...
