Turnips, which are present in Slavic tales, required a very special way of planting. In ancient times, the Slavs sowed it with their mouths. Turnips have many tiny seeds - in one kilogram they reach over a million.
Therefore, it is very difficult to plant by hand. Mouth planting was done by spitting, and this required great skill. The best specialists in this regard were highly respected.
Cabbage can also surprise, but not with the way it is planted, but with its education. According to Americans, broccoli, which is a type of cabbage, is educated, so it is known as "cabbage with a university education."
According to the great writer Mark Twain, cauliflower, which is also a type of cabbage, is a vegetable that graduated from college. All these superlatives are actually due to the beneficial properties of cauliflower and broccoli.
Potatoes were grown in seventeenth-century Europe as an ornamental plant. An English admiral brought the plant to his homeland, and when it grew up, he treated his fried leaves to his guests, who did not speak to him for days.
In Russia, potatoes have been served as a dessert for many years. Before use, they were boiled, cut into circles or mashed, and sprinkled generously with sugar.
In eighteenth-century England, cucumbers were a rarity, and doctors wondered how to detect their harmful properties in order to ban their use.
Some considered cucumbers poisonous, others accused them of causing colds. Pineapple, which is now used only for desserts, was served as a salad in the palace of Russian Empress Catherine the Great.
It was cut and served with vinegar, and sometimes it was cut into small pieces and soup was boiled from it. Another option for its preparation was its marinating.
