The Vegetable Verdict

Do any of you have any favorite vegetables? I know, I know, some of you refuse to eat vegetables. I was just laughing at a conversation I had with my dad over the phone last night. I asked him about his day (our phone conversations are about 5 minute tops), and he told me he had dinner at a friend’s house with Diana. Apparently, the friend made spaghetti squash, a type of squash my dad had never had, but apparently loves after that meal. His enthusiasm was comical.
I think most people list potatoes as a favorite veggie, but we all know those can be unhealthy if you’re eating fries and mashed potatoes and gravy every day. I doubt many of you actually do that.
I love most veggies, but it wasn’t always that way. I think as people become grownups they tend to open up their minds to different foods. At least, most of us. So, if you eat veggies, what is your favorite?

Eggplant or aubergine, as we call it, is delicious roasted in the oven. It’s also nice in a Moussaka.

@Orson_Kart I'll eat it as eggplant parm or rollatini but that's about it.

I don’t class potatoes as vegetables, so I’ll rule them out. I love most veg, but I do especially love carrots when they have been slow-cooked in a stew. Caramelised courgettes after they’ve been roasted in the oven are also delicious. Even the humble pea has pride of place on my plate, or even on the floor, after I’ve chased it round with my useless fork.

@AmbiePam I was dreadfully picky as a child - no tomatoes, spaghetti, rice, cucumber, broccoli, yams, onion … I was impossible. Now I eat everything other than oatmeal, rice pudding and tapioca. I don’t like potatoes but all other veggies are good, especially tomatoes, zucchini and beetroot.

I've always loved so many different vegetables. The controversy over tomatoes being a fruit or a veggie doesn't matter to me as I love tomatoes. Broccoli, green beans, fresh corn, cukes, salad greens...I love them all.

I can settle the tomato debate. No, not how you pronounce it. Would you put cream or custard on a tomato? No? Me neither. Therefore it is a vegetable!

@Orson_Kart Technically not only is it a fruit but it is classified as a berry.

I like them all really..even kale had its place. My fave would be corn..but of course that is a starch. I also like broccoli.

I like a lot of vegetables--though not a fan of yellow squash or zucchini. Sometimes I'll eat a vegetable raw but not cooked, or vice versa.

I am like your Dad was, I haven't ever tried spaghetti squash, but I do love baked squash-butternut or buttercup.
I like carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, mushrooms and corn on its own, in soups I love cauliflower and broccoli.
And surprisingly enough, I am not a big potato lover.
I actually will look for something else to take its place.

Lady's finger or Okra is my favorite.
