Favorite vegetable?

[populistmom]

Poll question: Favorite vegetable?

What's yours?

(Wasn't there someone here who was supposed to take the keys from half drunk posters?)

[gyopsy]

1. Carrots are wonderful...

they're one of few vegetables I'm willing to eat. Most taste terrible. I wouldn't dare eat a cucumber.

I like the junk food!

[Don_G]

21. Yellow/Orange Carrots?

Carrots weren't orange until the Dutch got patriotic and developed a "root crop" in their National colors.

[GOPisEvil]

49. Scientists at Texas A&M (school colors maroon and white)...

...have developed a maroon carrot.

My alma mater - working for world peace through maroon carrots. :D

[Spider Jerusalem]

2. Stephen Hawking.

lol...horrible joke, I know.

[Rabrrrrrr]

40. But he's not a vegetable

He has full function of his mind, he just has no use of his body.

Reagan could be a vegetable, though certainly not a favorite.

[JanMichael]

3. I dig the tomato. I know it's "Both" but I don't care.

That and green beans, blanched, then baked with salmon.

[ForrestGump]

4. Hold on a minute....I see a certain theme here

:o

Canteloupes aren't an option?

[populistmom]

10. Yeah, well

In case anyone wants a vegetable with their hot dogs. We must have our veggies as well. A balanced diet is the key to good health.

[ForrestGump]

13. Yes, it's true that it's good to have a balance

Although some will claim that you can't beat meat, even the most carnivorous among us has to recognize that vegetables have their place, too.

[SOteric]

17. I'm sure you can, Forrest,

but you'll want that other thread, over there >>>>>.

[ForrestGump]

32. You beastly thing, you!

Coming into a perfectly innocent conversation with these insinuations....I'm shocked!

:P

[Swede]

41. Huhhu huhuhuhu

You said "beat meat"

[nostamj]

5. this is the meatless masturbation thread, right??? n/t

why am I still awake???

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

6. It's the vegan version nt

[DinahMoeHum]

38. Remember: "Vegetables are sensual. People are sensuous"

Carlos, you've just screwed up my face for the rest of the day!!
Bwahahahaaa!!!

:evilgrin:

[BlueJazz]

7. Brussel Sprouts and Cauliflower

with a bit of real butter....Yum

[Cadfael]

29. Brussels Sprouts are my favorite too

just barely cooked with lots of butter
my poor mother-in-law used to make them every Thanksgiving...even though I was the only one who liked them...she's a sweetie

[Kazak]

8. Probably broccoli or spinach...

Man, you left all the good ones out!

[ForrestGump]

9. Advisory: explicit imagery

[populistmom]

15. They're so green and healthy looking

I hope it tastes as good as it looks. :9

[ForrestGump]

16. Surely you're gherkin my chain

:D

Jack's gonna kill me with an axe for tempting his wife with the bounty of my fertile patch, I just know it.... :scared:

And, really, when it comes down to it I don't want a pickle...I just wanna ride my motorsickle.

[AlienGirl]

11. Eggplant!

Eggplant is so versatile and yummy.

Tucker

[Downeast]

25. Yes, eggplant rules.

I wouldn't have a problem eating it every day.

[burr]

12. cucumbers rule!!!

carrots are ok, but zucchini sucks. It's kinda of like vile-tasting mutant squash...it is squash's evil twin out to inflict revenge on those animal savages who dared to enjoy devouring the purity and sinlessness of squash...

[ForrestGump]

14. The Federal Transport Security Administration's most recent guidelines

suggest that you do not attempt to carry your favorite cucumber aboard commercial flights. Pick one up at a supermarket upon arrival at your destination, instead, they say.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. Okra

eom

[crimson333]

19. turnip greens

:)

[Deja Q]

20. Cauliflower and broccoli

The former because it tastes oh-so-good and the latter because (a) it's damn healthy, and (b) our damn idiot daddy to the idiot "president" hates the stuff. Typical fascist, they hate anything that's GOOD for you. :D

[Paschall]

22. Well, to be nit-picky...

...cucumbers and zucchini are fruits. :think:

[Piperay]

23. Potatoes...

I LOVE em :loveya: and I love em...baked, fried, hashed, mashed...just about any way they can possibly be fixed.:9

[Awsi Dooger]

24. Fresh green beans and broccoli, using a pressure cooker

I finally learned how to use that thing and it's great. Corn on the cob comes out terrific also, plus I'm making a mean stew drenched with fresh mushrooms and carrots.

So far no steam burns.

I confuse the hell out of my system, alternating healthy stuff with crappiola.

[SiobhanClancy]

26. Asparagus

Fresh asparagus is veggie bliss.

[Padraig18]

27. I'm with you!

Asparagus is the most 'elegant' vegetable, IMO. :)

[jumptheshadow]

28. Elegant and delicious

The greengrocer on my corner sells the freshest, thinnest, in-season asparagus. Steam them carefully and they are perfect with just about any meal.

[Padraig18]

31. The old gent down the street...

... has a HUGE garden, and happens to like really my boyfriend, so he gives us WHITE asparagus on occasion. *drool* :)

[jenm]

30. spinach

Can just imagine the yummy iron goodness with every delicious bite.

[blondeatlast]

36. Me too, but the bad news--very little of the iron gets absorbed

in most people. I love the stuff, eat it in prodigious amounts, and still battle frequent bouts of anemia.

Anyhoo:

Welcome to DU! :toast:, or would you prefer a great big (dammit, can't find a photo of cooked spinach!)?

[LWolf]

33. Beans.

Of all sorts. Green. Dried. Whatever.

Other faves, whether technically vegetable or not:

broccoli
snap peas
onions
peppers
spinach
tomatoes
cilantro
black-eyed peas

[blondeatlast]

34. Don't you have one of those 'puters that cuts off the power if you're too

skanky?!

SPINACH! With a hint of salt and vinegar, mmmm.

[Cheswick2.0]

35. Brocolli

All women should be eating Brocolli. It has natural estrogen. It helps with water retention. I think it is an anti occident, if I remmeber correctly.

And it is yummy barely steamed with butter and lemon juice.

[WillParkinson]

37. Potato...

It has so many options! Baked, fried, boiled, french fries, mashed. It's so versatile.

And then we have mushrooms....MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMushrooms...

[StaggerLee]

39. zuchini, spinach, brocolli, artichoke and eggplant (in that order)

:)

[FloridaJudy]

42. Onions

Julia Child said it: "there has never been a civilization without onions"!

While I wouldn't care to eat a raw yellow or red onion (Vidalias are another matter), I can't think of a single meat or vegetable dish that can't be improved by the addition of some grilled or caramelized onions.

Oh yeah, and really fresh English peas ring my chimes. If they're fresh enough, you don't even have to cook them; I'll pop them right out of the pod and gobble them up like candy.

In fact, I can't think of any vegetable I don't like. Unless it's okra, or Southern stewed greens (love the greens - gag at the layer of bacon fat - eeeew!)

[HawkerHurricane]

43. Ronald Reagan

He qualifies, doesn't he?

[kodi]

50. beat me to it, citizen-soldier

.

[SingSong]

44. Grandpa

just kidding!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

45. Asparagus!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Cosmic_Latte]

46. I like brocolli

More than any other vegetable! :-)

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

47. Mushrooms

Non-magical.

[JVS]

48. Ronald Reagan!

Oh wait, he's my least favorite vegetable. I guess I have to go with carrots.

[MissMillie]

51. Anything green...

zucchini, asparagas, green beans, broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, peas.... all of it.

Not a fan of mashed squashes at all
