I know no one is supposed to like brussel sprouts, but my brother and I both love them. Maybe my mom just made them special. I don't eat veggies as much as I should because they are sometimes a chore to store and to prepare, but I actually like a lot of them.
What are your favorite vegetables?
I guess beer doesn't count.
Brussels sprouts rock. I'll grant you that. They're my fave... after bourbon carrots. And, let's add some more veg to the mix. Vodka is made of potatoes after all ;)
Vegetables what the hell... what are those! I am like damn T-rex...
mostly the green leafy, vegetables.... Good southern Greasy Greens, that pick right out of field. Cant really do that, in Ga... but when I lived In tennessee, I would go out and pick some wild greens vinegar and oil good stuff
Which ones are the bourbon carrots? What do you call the carrots that are kind of pale and yellow and less sugary but still carrots?Quote:

For some reason, the last three or so posts in this thread remind me of a joke or two I heard about the late Karen Ann Quinlan long, long ago.Quote:

Can't remember the joke, but, if you want any more info, just Google or other search engine her name, and am sure there's at least something out there about her and her case.
This, however, just goes to show that there is indeed more than one definition of the word "vegetable" out there:wink2: :evil_lol:
I love brussel sprouts, ..in fact I like pretty much any veggie...the only one I really don't like is celery..but even it has it's moments
i think my favorite are snap peas
btw my 3 year olds favorite food is broccoli lol he runs through the grocery store screaming BROCI BROCI..how messed up is that
I prefer my meat products but do like the occasional vegetable. I like Carrots (cooked) Peas (Garden, not processed) Sprouts are ok, as long as they are smothered in butter.
Can't think of any other vegetables that I really like. (I'm waiting for someone to say Tomatoes) :D
I love lettuce, corn, carrots, peas, tomatos, broccoli, cabbage, thats all I can think of right now. I HATE canned veggies though, its all gross.
Baby spinach greens.
anything properly cooked and cooked seperatly with any celery (i detest that vile plant and it contaminates anything its cooked with).
but todays sunday lunch...
was a close call between the roast carrots and roast parsnip.
and theres nothing wrong with sprouts as long as thier cooked properly
In contrast, I HATE Cucumber, celery, garlic. My wife has been know to chase me around with slices of cucumber. Manky, stinky shit!
I actually love brussel sprouts..i remember when I was in 2nd grade and had to "grow" them for a science project..then eat them and I was surprised that at that age I wanted more.
I also love broccoli, green beans, peas, snow peas but my favorite would probably have to be baby corn when me and the wife make Stir Fry with Kobe Beef.. I love Whole Foods Market 8^)
They are a little starchy for the direction I generally try to steer my diet, but I looooooooooove parsnips. I used to get them in various root vegetable dishes at restaurants and never know what they were, but eventully I found out that the most delicious one was the yummy parsnip.Quote:

I've NEVER had or tasted brussel sprouts. Though I always remember them from the movies when I was a kid that "ewwww brussel sprouts" or whatever..i don't even really know what they look like, if I remember correctly passing by the frozen isle they look like tiny cabagges? anyways, just recently I discovered my love of steamed green beans!!! and I like green broccoli too!
I like all vegetables alot. both raw and cooked. the only one I don't like is corn. I hate corn. it's nasty.
My problem is possibly that I have a Sweet tooth. Thus I prefer fruit over vegetables.
a daft question on the subject of vege, i went through so much trouble to find leekes when i was last in the america. i found it most odd
I think the yanks don't get leeks.
they do. but i had to walk a LONG way to find a store that sold them (i refuse to drive in a country where everyone is on the wrong side of the road untill they see the errors of thier ways :P)
I like corn.
and thats about it.
lol
:)
I like Lotus Roots, never had them till I came to Japan, I had to look up the English name since I only know them as renkon. Cooked in butter they are great. Cabbage is another favorite, I throw that in all the soups we make.
leeks are great.... I make awesome potato leek soup... it rules.... they are good with lots of things.Quote:

I love cucumber for some reason.
And corn of course.
And let's not forget watermelons, Squared ones :)

Yeah, I see them at the department stores, I've seen them for about $100-150. $100 cantaloupes also but those are round, haven't seen a square melon yet.
I'm quite a fan of my mom's brussel sprouts too, actually. Peas, corn, carrots, taters are all quite yummy to me as well.

and i like cauliflower when cooked with cheese, and carrot but only if it's raw.
i like broccoli too but i'm too lazy to include it into my diet, so i just eat it if it's prepared for me :)
