Bought a pot of chives and every time I look away, it seems to grow multiple centimeters in size. I have to give it a haircut almost daily…

    Virgin trees: Most seeds never sprout unless conditions are perfect, take forever to grow, a few bugs can kill an entire tree, need complex biochemical pathways to survive winter.

    Chad grasses: Can sprout literally anywhere, grows whether you want it to or not, literally grows faster than things can eat it, outcompetes tree seedlings, brute force method to species survival, can afford to just die in the winter knowing more of them will crop up next season.

      There is very little that they don’t taste good in. They make savory things taste more savory. Eggs are a good start, but chicken dishes, rices bowls, you name it.

      I am currently finding that out, too. 🙃

      So far, I’ve had them in a vegetable curry and in a sort-of-East-Asian style dish (rice, chickpeas, teriyaki, sriracha, peanut sauce) and I threw them onto a toast where I had a tomato-hummus spread on there.
      I feel like that generally works quite well, if your base food is already quite rich in either veggies or spices, then you can just throw chives into the mix without it poking out too much. Lots of those dishes might use leek anyways, and chives aren’t too different from that.

      Topping for baked potato, baked potato soup, and other places where potato, sour cream, and onions may intersect
