Favourite vegetable

[Justagirlwholovesaboy]

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

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

Salt and pepper it and it's amazing.

Sugar snap peas. Perfect raw or cooked, go with everything from a roast to stir fry. Perfect!

Can anyone convince me to like marrow?

Carrot

Red pepper.

I salt aubergines for 24 hours - it makes a huge difference! They taste of tea if you don’t do it, but maybe that’s what people like?

Another Parsnip vote here! Fucking love them!!!

@BaronessBomburst - No, as they’re tasteless and just plain awful.

If we can all agree that the potato is a staple that cannot be taken away from us, then I choose cauliflower.
If you’re going to nitpick and not have that as a rule then I choose potato.

Also I’m 100% in agreement for the letter C being my food letter of choice.

That's always been my assessment @Pocketfull. But I sometimes wonder if I've been overly harsh.
I shall go back to ignoring them then!

Courgette - but I literally never get to eat it as my DH and DD won't touch it!!

Celeriac 😋

i have a lovely chutney recipe for marrow

Sweet potato.

I can eat sweet potato chips safe in the knowledge I am eating VEGETABLES.

Oh god I'm not sure if I could choose so I'll post my top three.
Broccoli.
Mushrooms.
Spring greens.

Courgette. I know.

I love potatoes so much. I could give up alcohol and chocolate but never potatoes.

French beans runner beans any beans esp home grown.

Best fruit - tomato. Eaten at every meal. Best quick lunch - canned tomatoes, spring onion, chilli flakes, olive oil and salt. with good bread.

And may be some of the beans mentioned above.

Best herb anyone?
Best spice?

Does anyone else eat the stem of broccoli raw, with salt??

oh now you are all talking my language. I get ludicrously excited at a big platter of roasted veg. I go between adoring carrots, green beans (really lovely blue lake are the best!) and zucchini, if roasted well. But then I worry that cauliflower and kale shall feel left out, and they are marvelous. Then we have the perfect little roasted tomato. That delicious pop of flavor.

It is breakfast time here for me, and now I want veg. Thanks folks.

Brussel sprouts or broccoli. Yeah, I hated them when I was a kid, but I LOVE them now.

Onions or cauliflower

Best herb definitely oregano, I love that stuff. Best spice would be very difficult. Paprika and coriander strong contenders but I think curry powder for sheer versatility would win out.

Carrots. Mashed with potato. My fave childhood meal.

I'd find it so hard to choose but if I genuinely could only ever have one it'd be kale I love it stirfried with loads of garlic and nutritional yeast and also made crispy in the oven

Peas

Beetroot. If that’s controversial (is it a fruit?), then Savoy cabbage.?
