    What's your favourite vegetable? I came up with this when trying to think of something for Svip's AMA on the forums xD

  • i strongly enjoy chicory. its very delicious just cooked and with ham and cheese but also cooked on its own, and its even delicious in salad as a more nutritious replacement for lettuce (works especially great in salads with nuts and fruits). however i call it chicory only off a google translation as there literally isnt a english wikipedia page for this vegetable "sichorei" so i feel like its not even on the menu elsewhere

  • Beets, 100%. They’re hearty, tasty roasted or pickled, and the greens are wonderful sautéed. 

    Second place would have to be potatoes. Because come on, they’re so versatile. 

    Third place is probably jicama. Put a little lime and hot sauce on it and you have a hell of a snack. I like to hit it up into little sticks.

  • Compared with some of the things you guys have listed, my answer is probably going to be boring. I like broccoli, with green beans being a close second...with both, some salt does wonders in bringing out the flavour with them.

    I also like potatoes, but its hard for me to mentally see them as vegetables, lol...it's like how you need a meat, a starch, and a vegetable, and usually the starch has something to do with potatoes, lol.

  • I'm forbidden by the doctor to eat a lot of my favorite vegetables because they give me gas. I end up caving and eating small bits anyway. :P

    Some of my favorites:
    jie lan (Chinese broccoli)
    qing cai (green/baby bok choy)


    (English translation here is a misnomer because bok=white and it's not white)
    malantou (Kalimeris indica)
    black wood ear
    taro

  • To be honest, I'm not a fan of vegetables (big surprise, haha). However, one of my favorites is corn. It's simple and it's sweet, by vegetable standards. I also like carrots, but they're not my favorite.

    The idea is that you limit everything first and then potentially slowly introduce things back to see what works, but I'm still at the stage where I have only a general idea (other than milk is very bad for me bc I'm not white lol), and I still cheat and eat gassy foods sometimes.

  • Cucumbers are definitely my favorite vegetables. Cucumbers themselves are alright but since I started enjoying pickles, my enjoyment of cucumbers has also increased.

    Highly recommend trying out some smashed cucumber salad. Here are two good recipes:

  • @taulover: Have you tried the plant-based milks like almond milk? Back at one time I was buying a lot of almond milk cause I liked it in most everything (except coffee, I still preferred regular milk in that).

    Thanks for the recipes btw...we eat a lot of cucumbers in the summer and both salads look delicious :)
