View Full Version : Vegetables, what's your favorite?

Notice that I asked "what" not "who"(no George W. Bush or Terry Schiavo responses please).

I love onions. They're versatile, and easy to grow. Plant them once, and you'll have onions for years to come. I eat onions almost everyday (sometimes 3-4 times a day).

Broccolli, followed closely by potatoes and then corn.

Asparagus... grilled with a little butter and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

It's to die for.

I'm an equal-opportunity vegetable lover.
A few favorites lately:
zucchini
artichoke
eggplant
tomatos
edamame
asparagus

... and lettuce is a staple.

I'm also down with the onions. And, garlic. Is it a vegetable, or technically a spice?

Mmmm, asparagus... I don't care how my pee smells afterwards, if it's cooked right, asparagus is awesome. :D

Asparagus
Broccoli
Garlic
Spinnach
Eggplant
Peppers: Red, Yellow, Green.
Green Onions
Carrots
Too many to list... but I figured I'd list the ones most kids don't like to eat.

I absolutely hate Celery though, they smell terrible.
Do tomato's count? they're fruits last time I checked.

So they keep coming back? What other veg does that? I need to fill some space and am considering planting veg instead of flowers

I'd have to say tomatoes or romaine lettuce.

I'm surprised no one has said Garlic yet.

Whoops, AEO beat me to it.

To me, the alliums are less vegetables and more seasoning. It's a tie between asparagus and spinach.

I love squash (although I don't eat it often). Asparagus is good. And a nice fresh-from-the-garden tomato is divine.

I have about five tomatoes growing on my plants right now, and quite a few ripe cherry tomatoes to pick today.

is a beet a veggie? No, I'm serious. I grilled up a beet using a brown sugar marinade. Holy crap it was good.

i actually like beets...used to hate them but i like them now.

My sister is funny, she likes carrots, but not cooked. Even when she was a baby. She'd spit out the carrots.

Grass. Asparagus is in the grass family, no?

And FYI - Tomatoes and Avocados are fruit.

And for me, I love all veggies!! Helps me to bring home the bacon. :thumb:
