And no, don't say it's delicious with cheese sauce. It's the cheese sauce you're enjoying. It's time we stopped letting this evil brassica take the credit for that dish.

Love it all especially cauliflower !

TwinkleTwinkleLittleBat · 13/09/2016 16:56

I like them all but I've finally admitted that I'm really not bothered about cucumber. Well anything watery and similar really ie courgettes, marrows and pumpkins.

Pumpkins once a year get incredible coverage. Then everyone remembers how pointless that are and they slink off...until next time Confused.

I make nice 'pumpkin' soup, but it only tastes nice because of everything else but the pumpkin takes all the credit Hmm Pumpkins are sneaky like that. That's why they have evil faces.

Love cauliflower!!
Courgettes, however, taste like slimy snot (or how I would imagine slimy snot tastes Grin)

Badders123 · 13/09/2016 17:13

Nope.
Looks like brains.

SapphireStrange · 13/09/2016 17:14

I've made my peace with cauliflower in the last few years (I'm 41).

Great in curries. It likes cumin, especially in seed form.

SoTheySentMeA · 13/09/2016 17:19

Celery is nice roasted and smothered in cheese sauce. Just saying.

Hidingtonothing · 13/09/2016 17:21

I love all veg except courgette and aubergine which makes it all the more unfair that I'm so bloody unhealthy Sad

Katedotness1963 · 13/09/2016 17:23

I like raw cauli dipped in ranch dressing.

Corn is the vilest vegetable!!

LunaMay · 13/09/2016 17:37

Mmmm cauliflower and feta fritters... Made with cauliflower fresh from the garden.

Parsnips you can all have and shove them up your arse, might improve the flavour. Grin

Tessabelle74 · 13/09/2016 17:40

Mushrooms are the food of the devil! Squeaky when you bite them, they taste like soil and have the consistency I imagine slugs would have!

YelloDraw · 13/09/2016 17:44

I think I like all vegetables!

YelloDraw · 13/09/2016 17:44

Oh. Apart from celery. That's rats.

squizita · 13/09/2016 20:37

Celery is the devil's own cock.

It tastes like cleaning products smell. It's stringy. It make a vile crunch.

Kill it. Kill it with fire.

squizita · 13/09/2016 20:38

Oh and I forgot about "looks like rot with a slug on it" aubergine. Edible only if peeled and blended to oblivion and it's pricy so ... nooo.

lapsedorienteerer · 13/09/2016 20:41

YANBU - cauli, sprouts, peas and broad beans are all the food of the devil Grin

lapsedorienteerer · 13/09/2016 20:42

.....oooh, meant to add beetroot as well, urgh!

Oysterbabe · 13/09/2016 21:07

Glad to see so many fellow celery haters.

I love beetroot. I gave it to 8 month old DD for the first time yesterday and she put it in her mouth then started crying. First time she's had that reaction to anything.

Poppypooch · 13/09/2016 21:44

I love cauliflower, hate green beans little squeaky buggers, and what are those baby corns all about yuck

PickAChew · 13/09/2016 21:51

Cauliflower is delicious.

The smaller the better though. The big ones are quite shite.

If you want cauli at its best, try romanesco, which is just sweet and lovely - admire the pretty fractal patterns on its surface before cooking, though.

Stressymomof4 · 13/09/2016 22:19

Broad beans, runner beans, sprouts, purple sprouting and curly kale are the all time favorite veggies in this house.... My 2 yr old won't eat anything else but sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli at the moment, she's been like it for weeks and yes smells lovely(not).
The rest of my daughters and I would live on the rest of it... Hubby's not too keen on the kale though.
Love the way my children 14,12,6 and 2 yrs would rather eat these veggies than pizza, nuggets ect.

liz70 · 13/09/2016 22:47

Slice mushrooms thickly and fry in garlic oil and smoked paprika. Guaranteed not to taste like sperm.

liz70 · 13/09/2016 22:51

Are olives a vegetable? Either way, they're foul. Balls of Beelzebub. Even the word is acronym of so evil, or so vile. Proves my point entirely.

friedfanny · 14/09/2016 00:18

I didn't get olives until I was 30, now I love them. That's one of the reasons we keep getting the kids to retry different foods, your tastes change one day you might suddenly understand why aubergines are heavenly.

Having said that I don't think I will ever like broad beans.

BathshuaSpooner · 14/09/2016 00:29

Cauliflower dipped into Ranch dressing is sublime. Asparugus is Satan's own snack, delicious but evil.

FeralBeryl · 14/09/2016 00:36

Well some of you really are the giddy limit!
Angry slagging off my beloved sprouts?!
What am I mixing with on here

Had a bowl of them for my tea tonight
