Lotus root definitely sounds like something I'd use to place a curse on someone. *rubs hands together*

Romanesco broccoli is beautiful.
Artichokes have thorns, but they're my favorite vegetable, so I can't vote for them.
Not a vegetable, but there's durian/jackfruit, which you can just lodge onto the tip of a stick and use as a mace.
Okra is hairy AND slimy, so that'd be my vote.
But it's not here, so bittermelon gets it. The best name they could come up with for it involves the word "bitter", as in, "hey, you know how you love melons? Well what if they weren't sweet at all, and instead jaw-clenchingly bitter, and their flesh was encased in this alien pod looking thing with spikes on it, and they were 70% inedible seeds?"

I had to peel pounds and pounds of celeriac using a dull as shit peeler (the paring knives were no better) every day during my Ireland internship.
I have developed a deep hatred of celeriac.

Was the dull peeler part of the deal? Like, was it meant to suck? Because a good peeler costs, like, 10 bucks. |

When I worked as a prep cook later on, all the knives and peelers went out every single week to the sharpeners like clockwork. We had two sets, actually, to rotate through. |

You've given this important poll the kind of in-depth hard hitting analysis I was hoping for. btw, if I included fruits, durian would be on there for sure. For a few reasons. |

Okra reminds me of the pods from the 70's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" |

Now I kind of want to try bittermelon. |

Okra is hairy AND slimy, so that'd be my vote. I grow Clemson Spineless okra, so don't have to worry about the first part. Once the plants are at the end of the season and lose their leaves, it's just 7 foot stalks with pointy green phalluses on top. By late October my two rows are going to look like H.R. Giger's Christmas tree farm. One of my million-dollar ideas is to develop a breed of okra with super slime so I can market an eco-friendly bio-adhesive. Regular okra already has plenty of slime and grows fast, so it shouldn't be hard. |
