Had this conversation with my husband and kids a while ago... Can't remember their answers but do remember their shock when I said sweetcorn as apparently according to my husband it doesn't count, it's an addition or filler.
So my favourite 3 vegatables (in no order) are
Leeks
Sweetcorn
Broccoli
What's everyone else's and do they agree that sweetcorn /peas are 'fillers'?

Think the mighty onion is getting very over looked here, it's in everything! If it's more stand alone veg then broccoli, peas, leeks.

Asparagus

All very versatile! :D

Sweet corn doesn't count because it's filler?

My entire culture (my family is Mexican) is based around (maize) corn. Tell your husband that it is most definitely NOT a filler. It's essential to life!

It is so essential to me, it doesn't go on my list of favorite vegetables because it just is! Saying that, onions, garlic, chilies, tomatoes and avocados (they're a fruit but you know what I mean) are also part of that essential list so I won't include them.

My three are:

Lima beans (Butter beans in the UK)
Courgette
Asparagus
