To mixed veggies and mashed taters with gravy!

And not a very healthy one, at that, unfortunately, because it tastes so goooood.

Truthfully, there are very few veggies I don't crave (parsnips, turnips prob least favorite)

Funny... growing up I could NOT eat it -- MiddleFingerMomMom didn't cater (much) to picky
appetites (something that has allowed me to get adventurous as an adult, I think), but I
would seriously gag up so badly that it's the one thing (oh... and fish -- bone-in-the-throat
as a young child experience) that she would let me slide on. She used to steam it and then
bake it SWAMPED with butter on toast points -- I LOVED those toast points, even though
they tasted strongly of asparagus. Go figger.

When we had fish... I got PB&J's.

I also LOVE lima beans (always have)... sometimes with a little ranch dressing and/or bacon.

Throw it in a plastic bag. Drizzle in some olive oil, some salt and pepper and shake it all up then grill it. And it's cheap now

Although okra grosses me out! LOL

Yum.

cooked with shallots and butter and maybe a hint of Dijon mustard, salt n pepa.

Cauliflower and asparagus are close second.

Let's face it, they're a sensual pleasure. One of the very few edible flowers, for you botanists out there.

will try most everything else

LOVE asparagus any way I can get it

My son just bought a juicer and I was over there the other day and we were putting everything we could find in there.


I don't believe for a second the vodka helped.


but it didn't hurt.

They say it's best to mix it with cucumber and carrot juice.

Brussel Sprouts, and pretty much all other veggies. I love veggies...all of them

Sweet onions. Vidalias and such.

I prefer them steamed in the microwave just until done but still crisp with just a little salt added at the table. If I want fancier, a little bacon grease stirred in as the beans are cooking, just enough for flavor. Next step up, stir fried green beans with garlic like they serve at the Chinese buffet in town.

I'll eat green bean casserole when people serve it, but it's not my favorite way to eat my beans!

well, maybe okra but it is devil spawn, and even that is pretty good deep fried.

Lately I have been hooked on root vegetables--carrots, potatoes, parsnips, turnips, onions and cabbage oven roasted with olive oil

cabbage goes with everything

... a vegetable and a fruit.

"Vegetable" is about where it fits in your diet. "Fruit" is what part of the plant it is.

Plenty of vegetables are fruits: peppers, squashes, tomatoes, cucumbers ...

Baked, mashed, smashed, steamed, fried, broiled, boiled, shredded, grilled or poached....I love 'em!

At anyrate, MUSHROOMS with butter and garlic is heavenly.

I once went on one date with a "vegan" who made an exception for bacon and when I teased her about it she snapped "Bacon is a vegetable!" at me and started an argument in a crowded lakeside restaurant in Hartford's Elizabeth Park, home of the world's most-elaborate and huge rose garden. I posted the entire story on DU2, I think it's in my journal too.

Ever since, "Bacon is a vegetable" is a running joke in my circle of friends for when you're faced with a choice between an absurdity and something you don't want to admit is true.

My favorite vegetable is aubergine.

Mmmmmmmm.

Still don't see why its not a school vegetable, if ketchup is.

library paste was an entire school lunch.

And a tasty one it was!

Some idjit daughter of people that can't spell "Megan" right told me so on Fake News Channel.

Especially the Greek salad I make with mixed greens, kalamata olives, dried roma tomatoes, feta cheese and artichoke hearts all dressed with a garlic and herb vinaigrette.

mashed up nice and smooth with butter.

Mmmmmm!!!!

next favorite, sweet potatoes, then cooked beets
