If you could only ever have one which would it be? I’m going for baby carrots. Disclaimer I’m not vegan or vegetarian, I just love veg

Butternut squash! Soups, risottos, wellingtons, curries, I love it. Special mention to broccoli, cabbage and sweet potato though.... I'd miss those guys.

Justagirlwholovesaboy · 04/03/2019 03:18

Broccoli is ok but it kind of sits there doing nothing, a bit bland, just awaiting its end

PS tomatoes are a fruit Blush

steff13 · 04/03/2019 03:18

Asparagus.

Lovingbenidorm · 04/03/2019 03:22

Tomatoes are the sad bastards at the party, trying to fit in but never really knowing what they are doing wrong.
Yes, they are a fruit, yet they are not sweet and suitable for adding to a highly alcoholic cocktail
That’s why you always find them in the kitchen

Justagirlwholovesaboy · 04/03/2019 03:22

Asparagus Is either raw or mushy, impossible to cook in between

Cabbage. Sprouts. Spring greens.

Also lovely fresh runner beans. I have a slicer thing I shove them through and they come out like spaghetti. Lightly steamed, loads of butter, black pepper. I can demolish a whole plateful.

Lovingbenidorm · 04/03/2019 03:29

Well that’s a lesson to us all to stand up and be proud of who(or what) we are?
I’M A FRUIT!
AND IM PROUD!

If you could only eat food or drink beginning with one letter what letter would it be?

C
Cheese, cream, chicken, cabbage, carrots, crusty rolls, cake, cod, crustaceans, curry, chutney,
Coffee, champagne, cider

lottielady · 04/03/2019 03:35

LovingBenidorm I’d eat food beginning with C.

That way I could have chips, chocolate, chilli, cabbage, cauliflower, crisps, champ, chicken, cereal, cheese, crackers, cake, calamari, cream, canned goods...

lottielady · 04/03/2019 03:36

X-post Bore!

YEs to broccoli, I’m also a big fan of mushrooms and spinach.

I cook aubergine a lot. I have never done the salt thing and it has always been fine.

Lovingbenidorm · 04/03/2019 03:37

Oh crap
I was taking a sneaky peek before lights out and
Bore got in straight off!
You forgot crisps, cashews and Chardonnay

Lovingbenidorm · 04/03/2019 03:38

Sorry Lottie you got it too!

Justagirlwholovesaboy · 04/03/2019 03:39

I’m pretty sure, almost sure, maybe sure, that cheese will give you an std. I hate cheese, ruins so many possible recipes and meals out. Any cheese free restaurants?

I adore broccoli! Lightly steamed al dente with a squirt of lemon juice and flaked almonds. Salt and pepper. Sometimes a dash of Tabasco. YUM!

Justagirlwholovesaboy · 04/03/2019 03:47

@soberfabulousthe the broccoli was happy, then you made it all about the lemon and the nuts. It’s sitting there no all acidic wishing it never met you 😂
