We visited the farm shop yesturday, and it got me thinking about veggies…. My favourite is sprouts …..it’s not a popular choice I know, but it’s my number one. I like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, beetroot, swede and most others too. I don’t like cooked carrots, but I do like raw carrots . However, sprouts remain my most favourite …. What is your favourite veggie, ? How do you like it cooked ?

Mine would be carrots and radish. I eat them raw too. Carrots are tastier when raw. What is swede?

Swede is a root vegetable ….popular in Autumn months …you peel it and boil it, you can have it in pieces or mashed, like potatoes. Very often it is eaten with beef.

@Iam_jauntyjen it is really nice ….well I like it anyway …..sometimes it’s mixed with mashed potatoes as a topping for cottage pie……meat and veggies in gravy topped with mashed potatoes ….

That’s a tough one. I like cooked carrots and cooked potatoes cooked with a pot roast and so tender they fall apart with the touch of a fork. But, I like sautéed onions too. Especially with pork chops.

Oooohhh yes, I love onions . The Mister, however, as I’ve posted plenty of times, as it drives me nutty ….does like the flavour of onions, but not the texture of them. So whenever I cook something with onions in it I have to use onion powder or onion granules.

@AmbiePam you’re telling me ….he doesn’t eat peppers , courgettes , aubergine, tomatoes ( except tinned )….it makes stews, casseroles tricky, there’s very little left to put in ….

I love broccoli and like carrots, beets, cabbage, potatoes and sweet peppers. I will also eat raw turnips, tomatoes, peas in the pod and beans in the shell. I like most veggies steamed.

@Traceyjayne Mom always overcooked veggies when I was growing up. After I was out on my own, I bought a steamer and usually cook my veggies that way. They really do have more flavor when steamed.

@traceyjayne Cauliflower for me, roasted with bay leaves to mitigate the whiff then served up in a blue cheese white sauce.

Cauliflower with a cheese sauce is beautiful.

Broccoli, raw or cooked. I like Brussels sprouts if they're fried up in a pan or baked.

@Traceyjayne I can't cook anymore. I've seen them cut in half when they're baked in the oven. Red Lobster and Longhorn Steakhouse add some honey I think to the sprouts. Theirs are so good.

I don't have a favorite and I rarely eat one. I do eat vegetable salad which means I like mine raw.

I like practically any vegetables apart from Jerusalem artichokes. I just could not develop a liking for them no matter what I tried.

I'd say carrots. I like raw baby carrots dipped in blue cheese dressing or hummus. I like them roasted with extra virgin olive oil and thyme.
