Yes, I'm happy I am a vegetarian since birth. So I never really tasted meat of any kind. I think it's quite hard to change diet when you already know the taste of other food. Other says you'll find vegetarian food very bland or tasteless. Of course we don't think of the benefits it gives our body until we realize we are really sick.

The only vegetable that I ever liked the most is corn. But, after I got pregnant, I found myself eating alot of veggies that I never even came close to before. And now I am eating all the vegetables on face of earth without hating them anymore. My favorite fruits are mango, strawberry, watermelon, pineapple and papaya.

My favorite vegetables zuccinni, summer squash, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, corn, and bell peppers. My favorite fruits are blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. Those are all in my garden. I also like pears, plums, apples, grapes, and cherries. All of those grow in my yard. Now I do like meat, I eat fish and chicken, neither of these are in my yard yet! Give me time!
Peace!

I must confess I'm a meat eater- Sure I eat lots of fruits and veggies also- but I'd give my left leg for a big juicy steak most nights! : (
My favorite fruit is a strawberry-- YUM!! good and ripe
My favorite vegetable is Big juicy ripe red tomatoes from my garden! I do love alot of veggies though- cucumbers, peppers, radishes, carrots- all from my garden! I can't wait til the veggies start popping up!

I love bananas, artichokes and avocados. I can't just pick one...
I love a huge salad with lits of greens, tomatoes, cukes, avocado, onions, garlic, corn, peppers, carrots, olives, garbanzos, fresh herbs, tofu, various seeds, just toss it all in with a little oil and vinegar dressing and serve. It's my favorite dish.

I try to eat close to a vegetarian diet as possible, but no not a vegetarian--I was while in college, and guess what, it triggered off my blood sugar problem!! I've gotten in the habit though of eating more fruit, like pears, cantalope, grapes, kiwis, strawberries..too many to list... and I've always loved all kinds of veggies..But alas...I do eat meat..Though tonight I am having a salad dinner...too darn hot to cook anyway---LOL

I love mango. Mangoes are very nutritious and excellent source of carotene as compared to other fruits. 100 gms of edible portion of the mango contain about 1990ug of beta-carotene (vitamin A), which is much higher than in other fruits.

I like seafood more than meat, but I can't resist fried chicken and eggs and steak now and then. My favorite vegetables and fruit are oranges, banana, corn, tofu.
