Your favorite vegetable & why

Seaweed.

I don't fully understand why but it's just so god damn tasty to me. I grab some any chance I get as long as it's not highway robbery priced.

Asparagus desu

sweet potatoes & fiddlehead. ferns oh sweet jesus.

Not that guy but they’re pretty good thinly sliced and raw in salads

scallions for taste
courgettes for texture

Onion

Favorite root vegetable: the humble potato. Even better than rice, they have a million preparations. They're the blank canvas of root vegetable.

Favorite green vegetable: spinach. Loaded with iron, you can cook it or eat it raw in a salad.

Favorite colored vegetable: carrots. Necessary for a mirepoix, useful in 50% of all soups and stews, and tasty as a raw snack, with dip or without.

Chinese cabbage. Sweet and crunchy. Never get tired of it.

My nigga!

Fiddlehead seems interesting. What's it like and how do you like it prepared?

Fiddleheads taste like a very nutty asparagus/spinach and its quite pleasant in some butter. ive only eaten polystichum munitum & ostrich ferns before because they grow all over my yard.
as a precaution you should boil all fiddleheads because some varieties have toxins. ESPECIALLY ostrich ferns!!

pizza

For me, its the mushroom, the perfect side dish.

I've been hearing a lot about the neurogenetic effects of lion's mane lately and supposedly it tastes great as well. They're pretty common over here in the PNW, maybe I should go hunting one of these days.

Broccoli

I like to pretend I'm a brontosaurus and the broccoli florets are tiny trees.

Onions, carrots, potatoes and tomatoes (f you're counting them as a vegetable)

I can't choose just one, but those 4 are necessary, and the only vegetables I truly couldn't be without.

Lay one on its side, cut off the top and bottom, then slice it into disks, maybe 3/4" thicc. Sprinkle salt all over the disks and let it sit for ten minutes. Then oil them up and put them on a grill for a few minutes until they get a little roasty. Take them off the grill, remove skin, maybe put some pizza sauce and cheese on them, and enjoy.

Motherfucking RED BEETS.

Borscht is delicious.
Pickled beets are awesome sugar sweetened or just on their own.
Roasted diced beets with other root veggies with some balsamic reduction. Mmm.
The greens are full of calcium and you can use them in anything.

Then you get to have a moment of panic when you think you just shat blood if you eat too many.

They're just great all around.

I heard they're pretty rare but I found one of those once in the adirondacks. The texture is feathery, you can just pull it apart you dont need a knife, and the flavor is on the milder side imo.

Chicken of the woods was the best tasting mushroom i ever found

onions. I can't remember the last time I went a day without eating something that had onions involved in it

My favourite vegetables are on the bitter side, but tender. Butter and garlic are always good, but boiled until just cooked is perfectly fine.
Brussels sprouts
kale
asparagus
broccolini
mustard greens
pea sprouts

...

Sweet potato is the king of vegetables. You can eat it by itself, make it into a healthier French fry, make chips, or use it to encrust a salmon.

purple broccoli >>>>> normal broccoli

Other than lettuce those are all fruits.

shut the fuck up, fruitcake

I might have to second this. Really want to make Borscht! Homegrown and preserved beetroot slices with homemade pate' on some nice bread, maybe some avocado. So fucking nice. Beetroot and pate' is amazing together.

Romanesco >>>>>>>>>>>>>> broccoli

Broccoli. Tastes good, and good for you.

Although I fuck up everything healthy about it by drowning it in rich cream and/or cheese sauces.

corn from a jar

I get most of those but how are strawberries mostly water

just put a few in one of those fruit dryers and watch them lose 90% of their weight

broccoli, spinach, carrots
every meal i make contains at least one of them.
i generally enjoy every vegetable. it feels so healthy and filling. why would someone ever eat meat.

I love carrots. They're tasty and versatile. They have good fibre so keep me full for a long time. I can make them sweet with honey or savoury with vinegar. Sometimes I even grate one into my morning oatmeal. Cut into sticks and dipped into yoghurt or ricotta or cottage cheese make a good healthy movie snack. The supermarket ones are cheap as fuck but they're a bit bland and need to be peeled because the skin (and a bit under the skin) tastes horrible even after washing them. The independant fruit and veggie store ones are much better.
The vitamin A keeps my genes healthy too, and hopefully one day I'll get to share my genes with someone special. I wanna be a full time dad one day.

Sweet potato.

asparagus, cuz pee smell

this user? he's a fruit

it's literally onions. onions are the right answer. they're so insanely versatile and improve almost anything, there couldn't be any other answer that is actually justified.
There's a reason that onions are literally in every food culture while most other veggies are restrained to a few

Onions
I've yet to meet a sammich that wasn't better with diced onions on it.
Red Bell Peppers a close second, damn tasty things.
Honorable mention to Broccoli, that great improver of rice based dishes.

OP cuz its a retarded faggot

Sweet potatoes are virtually as bad for you as regular potatoes iirc.

>potatoes
>bad for you

If you deep fry them and cover in cheese sauce, sure. Potatoes are very nutritious but I wouldn't call them vegetables.

...

Onions make everything better. They are God's gift to humanity.

Stewed collard greens with vinegar. ham hocks, and bacon are perfect

Oh, you.

Broccoli is the only vegetable I get cravings for. I can easily eat a head of steamed broc with a little butter and salt

I'm sure it's not my favourite but the first and strongest thought to come to mind is the rutabaga

Broccoli or Cucumbers simply because they're simple

Oh man. Spinach, mushrooms, onions, cabbage, potatoes, eggplant, carrots.

Hard to choose I love veggies.

I can't choose one! I love vegetables too much and I'm grateful my parents have a vegetable garden with lots of different vegetables, herbs, and some fruits too. My favourite ones are definitely zucchini (especially zucchini blossoms), peppers (green long sweet peppers in particular), broccoli and rocket salad. I also like peas, fennel, celery, leeks, chives, red onions, cabbage (especially the red and the Savoy types), cauliflower, spinach, cucumbers, asparagus, artichokes, and green beans a lot. I just realized most vegetables I like are green.
I don't know why I like them, I just think they taste so damn good. I would eat only vegetables in my life but variety is necessary to get other nutrients..

My mum would make risotto with red beets sometimes. Tastes as good as it looks (a nice red/pink colour), very aesthetic. She'd make risotto with red cabbage too which is violet and looks really nice as well and tastes a lot better imo

Also this

cute af

>red beets
What other colours are common?

Potatoes if you're counting potatoes.

If not then cabbage. I can eat it hot, cold, it's mild enough raw to taste good in sandwiches and shit. Also it keeps in the fridge for fucking ever so it's less likely to be a waste of money if I forget about it for awhile.

I love dumpling squash! It is hard to find where I live in Louisiana so I have to get a whole bunch when I go on vacation to North Carolina. It's technically a fruit. If I had to go with traditional vegetable it would be japanese sweet potatoes.

this is retarded. Every living organism is mostly water.

that's actually adorable, user

A nice ripe tomato

Just gonna..

I like all vegetables except corn, fuck that nasty shit. Ive never been able to eat it, if I merely smell corn being cooked, projectile vomit. Weird thing is, i fucking love hominy though...

Hot peppers, then Avocado, then Tomato, then Artichoke

My life would suck without Capsicum

they don't behave themselves when cooked in water, you gotta use dry heat

cauliflower

used to hate it, then discovered the ketobread recipes and how cooking in broth removes that filthy stench. I bake a plate of cauliflowers buns/bagels at least once a weak
look past the soccer mom, recipe is GOAT

Tomatoes
lettuce
garlic
onion
My absolute favorite is tomato. Go`s with everything or just it eat with a little bit of salt. Love the juicy little orbs of vitamine.

you know why
[spoiler]RAW of course[/spoiler]

motherfucking ambrosia thats why

'Y'all are WHACK

onion
most versatile, gives good flavor for every sauce and soup

Gonna have my mom made me some fiddlehead stirfry when i return

tomatoes

You heard right. Im supplementing lions mane into my diet atm

what time do you pick them?

Around noon.
Seriously though, they have to be picked when they're young.

>tfw roasting all of dey vegetables
It's amazing how great something tastes when the preparation is so fucking lazy

Cabbage
Goes with everything
