    Default Veggies

    I'm having an artichoke for dinner. It's one of my favorite things. Broccoli is way up there too. And I put green onions on almost everything.

    What are the best veggies?

    Other than potatoes, and assuming we aren't being pedantic about the distinction between vegetables and "fruits" with regard to things like avocado and tomatoes and such?

    Probably snap peas (#2), broccoli (#3), corn, peppers of various sorts, onions, carrots, olives, cabbage, and undoubtedly something I'm forgetting. They're all best eaten in very different ways and they're not in any particular order after broccoli.

    Spinach and brussels sprouts are my favorites.

    Carrots are my least favorite. I have hated them for as long as I can remember. I don't know why. I just really don't like the taste.

    Oh, spinach is a pretty good one. I like raw spinach a lot, and I recently learned I like spinach on pizza. Although other than that I'm not really a fan of cooked spinach.

    I love Spinach. Spinach is king.

    Garlic & onion are a staple in my pantry, and I lurve tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, green beans, asparagus, artichoke, and zucchini

    Oooh, spinach and brussel sprouts are both good.

    I sometimes forget garlic counts as a vegetable. I tend to overdo it whenever I make something with garlic; I just love it so much.

    I love almost all common vegetables. Onions and potatoes I use most often. I classify avocados as a vegetables, I give no smurfs, and they are delicious. Tomatoes, spinach, brussels sprouts, peppers (green and yellow), squash of all kinds - zucchini and yellow summer squash in particular, corn, eggplant, pearl onions, green onions, artichokes, broccoli and cauliflower, mushrooms and asparagus. I will gobble them all up.

    I dislike spouts, uncooked carrots, beets and red cabbage.

    I love carrots! They're pretty versatile!

    Spinach is such a great veg to have in the house, because you can put it with pretty much anything. I actually had a tuna and spinach sandwich for lunch today and it was fantastic. You can also add it to home-made juices and smoothies too.

    Broccoli and Broccolini are great - I love veg with a nice crunch

    A lot of great ones have been mentioned. Artichoke, asparagus, avocado, broccoli, brussel sprouts, corn, garlic, snap peas, spinach... all the other ones... If garlic counts, it would probably have to be my favourite.

    To mention something that hasn't been mentioned before, though - pak soi is one of the newcomers in my pantry and I'm liking it quite a lot.

    Veggies are all great. Except sprouts. They can go to hell, or something.

    But alfalfa sprouts are amazing. The only problem with them is they go bad after like one day and then they smell awful. That's why I don't buy them often.

    Also seaweed is great too even though it's technically an algae.

    Cauliflower, pickles, and carrots are the kings of vegetables. Also Iceberg lettuce.

    I can't stand Brussels sprouts.

    Spinach, cucumbers, asparagus with fresh garlic, and fried laver seaweed cooked in sesame oil are my favs. I also really enjoy pickled cauliflower, but I can eat it un-pickled as well.

    I dislike carrots, brussel sprouts, and squash. I really don't like butternut squash soup.

    Potatoes and mushrooms and spinach for the win. I like nearly all veggies though. Actually there is no such thing as a bad veggie. Even the ones I don't really care for straight up go great with other foods or blended in with other dishes.
