Literal meaning: Big head vegetable that produces bones.
Story behind the saying: 大頭菜 (literally means "big head vegetable”) is an umbrella term for root vegetables from the mustard greens family; it is commonly mistaken for the turnip (from the Wiki entry on 大頭菜：「大頭菜常誤稱蕪菁」) and when people (at least from Hong Kong and Guangdong areas, I think?) say 「大頭菜」, they usually have the turnip in mind.
Anyway, I'm not a horticulturist and am not qualified nor am I going to go into the scientific classifications of the myriad of veg. cultivars out there; the main takeaway is just to know that 大頭菜 refers to some kind of turnip-like root vegetable.
And when the 大頭菜 crop is not so good, the vegetable fibres will be coarse and rough, leaving a fibrous residue in the mouth making the vegetable difficult to swallow; likened to trying to swallow bones. When Cantonese-speaking farmers have a bad crop of 大頭菜, they will say they have 「種壞」 — “grown badly”, which is a homophone for 「緃壞」 (🥮 zung³ waai⁶) — “to pamper/spoil (a child/someone) rotten.
Hence, 「生骨大頭菜」 is a 歇後語 (anapodoton) to mean/refer to someone as a "spoilt brat”.
When you're having a nice read in Mandarin and then there's some Cantonese but you are not immediately aware of it and try very hard to figure out how mosquito ownership is relevant to advancing in life, what sort of figure of speech could this possibly be... (eventually a friend explained 蚊 is actually money in this context)
I was really surprised when YouTube decided to recommend this video channel to me recently (guess it was because I was watching a few food-related videos)!
This sure brings back memories! I remember seeing this show on TV when I was a wee kid! Didn't realise it was a long running Canadian cooking show then though.
Looking back now, Stephen Yan's jokes are the epitome of what would be called "dad jokes” nowadays! A lot of super cringe moments with his very lame jokes but(!) there's an unpretentiousness in his presentation that I really appreciate, compared to some of the too polished TV personalities today.
Anyway! In this particular episode ↓ I got to learn a new proverb thanks to Yan! (Wait, you mean to tell me those fortune cookies' 🥠 — a Chinese-Amerucan/Australian/Canadian thing apparently, by the way, no such thing in China nor where I'm from nor even in Japan, from where it likely got its inspiration from Japanese おみくじ (omikuji — fortune slips) — maxims are not all bosh?! 😸)
— Yan's version ↑ is basically the same as the few slightly different variations available in the dictionary I looked up (which you can see under the cut) and it does mean something like what Yan explained, that is,
"Although the Peony (flower) is good (beautiful) on its own, it still needs the green leaves to support it (help contrast its loveliness.)”
Which basically means,
“However brilliant one person may be, they still need support from others, one cannot achieve greatness on their own.”
Which Yan of course adapted to revolve round his dishes and cooking show, explaining the proverb as,
“Even a good dish requires a nice garnish touch.”
↑ What the "F” indeed! — when auto-generated captions were unable to pick up the Cantonese Yan says.

Algorhythm / The Big Data Thought I Still Loved You (Gemini+ChatGPT, 20260709) [Zpecial - 大數據以為我還愛你 Algorhythm]
Intro:
I don't remember a thing, not a thing, nothing at all.
We'd already made a clean break; to reminisce now would be unbearable.
Why must the algorithms on my screen recommend this?
Forcing me to run into those songs again.
Verse 1:
Those earphones -- I sold them;
Worn out -- they weren't worth much.
Even though they still played back memories and heartbeats,
It's pointless now; none of it matters anymore.
Pre-chorus 1:
A boring midnight commute, sharing a single earbud, woo...
What were we listening to?
Chorus:
I don't remember a thing, not a thing, nothing at all.
I had already made a clean break; to reminisce now would be unbearable.
Why must the algorithms on my screen recommend this?
Forcing me to run into those songs again.
Verse 2:
The rain poured heavier that night,
You leaned in a little closer.
Then somehow, we suddenly grew a little bolder
By my ear -- the replay of that summer.
Pre-chorus 2:
When the curtains fall, this sinking heart doesn't wanna say much,
Just put the music on loop.
Chorus:
I don't remember a thing, not a thing, nothing at all.
I've already made a clean break; to reminisce now would be unbearable.
Why must the algorithms on my screen recommend this?
Forcing me to run into those songs again.
Chorus + Hook:
I don't remember a thing, not a thing, nothing at all.
I'd already made a clean break; to reminisce now would be unbearable.
Those algorithmic recommendations on my screen -- please, don't do this,
Forcing you back into the spotlight of my memories again.
Outro:
I’d rather the ones I liked, the ones I deeply loved, left no trace in my mind,
while those songs, long grown old, keep playing on.
