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

Benidorm I don’t think anyone has salted an aubergine in 30 years, it is a myth that it stops aubergines being bitter (they aren’t anyway) My current top veggies are aubergine, cabbage and baby kale.

Aubergines used to be bitter and waterlogged but they've changed them and now they don't need salting. They did used to need it.

I think tomatoes are the most versatile veg
I’m also a big fan of mushrooms

Since we are just naming random foods, can I have rib-eye steak as my favourite vegetable?

Myfoolishboatisleaning · 04/03/2019 06:30

But they are both (culinary) vegetables. So no.

Potatoes

But they are both (culinary) vegetables.

In what sense? One isn't even a plant.

Can't believe no one has said parsnips yet... yum

Treaclesweet · 04/03/2019 07:11

I'm on the cabbage train (toot toot). So delicious, so versatile!

lottielady · 04/03/2019 07:46

I can’t believe nobody has said cauliflower!

Lightly steamed.
Fab in a curry.
Lovely and peppery raw.
Gorgeous in cheese sauce.
Tossed in Garam Masala, olive oil and salt and roasted.

Love me a cauli.

Pengling · 04/03/2019 07:54

Courgette for me, although I suppose technically also a fruit. So versatile!

Ffsnosexallowed · 04/03/2019 07:56

Cauliflower without a doubt

Believability · 04/03/2019 07:56

I can’t get the cauliflower hype, it’s so tasteless and powdery. For me, red pepper, sugar snaps or broccoli

BabyDarlingDollfaceHoney · 04/03/2019 07:58

Reading this thread just reminds me how much I love all veg!

Lungelady · 04/03/2019 08:00

I love every vegetable apart from parsnips...too sweet.
Broad beans fresh from the garden or swede/turnips

MaudesMum · 04/03/2019 08:05

I've become a great fan of celeriac recently - celeriac chips dunked in mayo are my new best thing!

Penguinandbear · 04/03/2019 08:11

I love cabbage - including pickled red cabbage and cabbage with a Sunday roast. My great aunt used to make pickled red cabbage, and the most lovely cakes and have dried flowers hanging up all round her beautiful cottage and garden and I was totally in love with that as a child.

DH said cabbage is the vegetable of peasants and only peasants should eat it when we met but he has since acknowledged the error of his ways and is now a fellow cabbage lover.

JaceLancs · 04/03/2019 08:14

Brussel sprouts

MissSingerbrains · 04/03/2019 08:23

Tomatoes, so versatile and delicious.

And bog off with your fruit nonsense! It’s used as a vegetable so meh! No tomatoes in my fruit salad 🙄

Closely followed by carrots and sweetcorn.

I like all veg apart from celery, which should be banned.

Penguinandbear · 04/03/2019 08:32

I agree tomatoes should be classified as a vegetable and I am unclassifying onions as a vegetable instead so I can have onion rings, pickled onions, fried onions, red onion as well. 😻

Hazlenutpie · 04/03/2019 08:34

Sweetheart cabbage, I luffs it.

mydogisthebest · 04/03/2019 08:40

It's difficult because I love all veg but I think spinach is my favourite. Spinach curry, spinach lasagne, spinach pizza yum

BlueMerchant · 04/03/2019 08:43

Has to be the garden pea.

Thurmanmurman · 04/03/2019 09:11

Runner beans

whitetoblerone · 04/03/2019 09:16

@Justagirlwholovesaboy thank god you said sweetcorn!

Corn on the cob is the best form!

Also a fan of lots of veg, don't like green beans but pretty much love everything else!

Itsallokusually · 04/03/2019 09:54

I like all veg except okra, which are slimy inside.
