Most eaten vegetable(s) in your house?

Given the news stories about the availability of vegetables, we have just had a discussion about which vegetables we'd struggle to give up.

Mushrooms. We are a family of mushroom lovers! Luckily, we can grow those at home all year round.

What about in your house?

Mushrooms, onions, peppers, green beans - all frozen. I do loads of casssroles and soups so use a steady supply.

Okunevo · 26/02/2023 16:12

This time of year, potatoes, carrots, onions, beetroot, squash, swede, cabbage, mushrooms. Tomatoes year round, but fresh usually only in a fry up or tinned in cooking in the winter.

Broccoli, peppers, onions, spuds, sugarsnaps, cabbage

Forgot peas - before broccoli.

mathanxiety · 26/02/2023 16:29

Also spinach, after garlic.

It's easier to say the ones we have least often.

Beans - green, broad, butter, black, all beans. Not because they aren't liked, more because of any of the following factors; expensive fresh/no space in freezer/take ages to cook/taste crap when tinned/so many fucking snails stripping the plants.

Sugarsnaps/mange tout/fresh peas because they aren't all that in terms of freshness or cost.

Baby sweetcorn. It's just expensive meh.

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 26/02/2023 16:55

Broccoli is the one we all eat. I eat a lot of spinach and mushrooms, but I'm the only one. The kids like sweetcorn and peas, which we get frozen. DH and I both like peppers.

IHeartGeneHunt · 26/02/2023 17:02

Green beans, I grow huge amounts and freeze enough to last all winter.

MrsRinaDecker · 26/02/2023 17:03

Just checked my Tesco app and they have no fresh peppers in stock! Bags of frozen are unavailable as well 😭

Cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage (white, savoy). Will put them all in just about anything and everything (stew, casseroles, roast dinners, pasta etc etc)

bluechameleon · 26/02/2023 17:10

Carrots are the only fresh vegetable everyone will eat so they'd be top. I'd really struggle to cook without onions and peppers, I use them a lot. And I'd really miss broccoli and cauliflower.

TheChosenTwo · 26/02/2023 17:12

Probably long stemmed broccoli. 4 of us will eat and love most veg but ds only likes green vegetables which is fine, he does always have one on his plate of whatever other vegetables we’ve cooked and will usually eat or at least try it but he’s just only ever really taken to green veg!
If we discount him I’d probably say tomatoes (I know, they’re a fruit, but we eat them in a savoury context).

MyBloodyMaryneedsmoreTabasco · 26/02/2023 13:12

Probably broccoli. Depends on the meals that week though, I have self imposed rules about what veg with what meal Confused

Please elaborate

toastedscone · 26/02/2023 18:33

Peas carrots brocoli

Ireallydohope · 26/02/2023 23:52

Runner beans, potatoes, peas, parsnips and carrots go down very well in our house

RiverSkater · 27/02/2023 01:46

Broccoli, green beans, cucumber, tomatoes , beetroot , lettuce , carrots, red or white cabbage, peppers, onions , sweetcorn - all on the regular shop

blackheartsgirl · 27/02/2023 01:51

Cauliflower and broccoli especially tender stem

MintJulia · 27/02/2023 01:52

DS will eat peas. carrots, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot, peppers. Also fruit of every kind. The carrots and broccoli must be steamed, not roasted.

I'll eat anything, and currently trying to eat 30 different fruit & veg each week, which isn't as easy as it sounds.

We probably get through most broccoli.

custardbear · 27/02/2023 03:00

Use multiple times a week:
Carrots
Broccoli
Sweetcorn
Onion
Peas
Peppers
Tomato (usually Passata though rather than fresh)
