An opposite of DTW's thread. What's your favourite veg?

[Melbourne12]

My number one favourite is spinach.  King of vegetables, IMO.

Broad beans are probably second.
Celery is pretty high up the list, ideally proper "dirty" celery from the Fens.
Aubergine, probably the most versatile veg of all.

Oh, and freshly picked runner beans.  We all take them for granted, but they're a delight.

I love ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, winter squashes, sugar snap peas, new potatoes, garlic, leeks, spring onions, aubergines, chillies, spinach, french beans, broad beans, broccoli... (the list goes on). :P

Must say there is not a veg that I do not like, do not know if it is A case of when I was a child I did not get the choice of saying, like children do today, that I do not like this and I do not like that if it was put on the table, thats what you ate. Sorry I know it sounds cruel but that is the way it was 40 to 50 years ago.

How true, and as my Dad was a Greengrocer we had to eat the stuff that didn't sell but other benefits were Muscat grapes, pomegranates,coconuts,figs etc. Oh joy, I'm drooling at the memory. :P

I think potatoes have an enchantingly mischievous way with them.

I think potatoes have an enchantingly mischievous way with them.

As soon as I see a tin of carnation milk on the shelves in the shop the memories all come flooding back, please someone stop these nightmares

Ah Richard, you should live in our house...... BW still craves tinned pear halves and evap.

[grawrc]

Yes I love them all. I suppose if I could only have one..... it would be onions .. or garlic? or savoy cabbage ... or fresh young broad beans or.... I guess I love them all.

Interestingly, Richard, on the topic of kids and food: this evening we had prawn fried rice - leftover basmati from stir fry last night. Lucy, my granddaughter (5) took one look and said "I don't like prawns. I'm allergic". I told her that was fine she only had to eat 3. 3 prawns later she asked "Can I have some more please?" ::) ;)

[saddad]

Fresh peas and sweetcorn are great but It's got to be roots... Parsnips, potatoes, carrots, after decades of not managing to grow them, but with Stan... Swede (Neeps)

[jennym]

Beetroot as one veg on its own I think, but my favourite snack is the inside of broccoli, cabbage or cauliflower stems, the crispy bit you get when you trim off the outer skin. Cook's perks!  ;D

[Tinkie_Bear]

PSB is my absolute fave.  More more more paaarp.  Sorry.  Im my house it's loveling called f*rt.

Thinking of it several things have than "pet name" - Sprouts are f*rt bombs.

I live in a very strange little world but luckily I live with strange people who care for me :-) 

Toot toot.

Crying with laughter here. Makes me think of jerusalem f*rtichokes, of which I have copious quantities, both in the kitchen, and also the allotment. Delicious when lightly stir fried with garlic and other veg, but they do insist on making their presence known :D
