i love veggies!

[rice cracker]

I hate, hate, hate almost all vegetables. The few I do like are: cabbage (but only in kimchi), raw cherry tomatoes, guylon (sorry, I know that's not the right spelling), and edemame. Does seaweed count?

[nonamerasian]

Almost all veggies I've eaten, besides really dark green and bitter ones like spinach and other greens.

[ellsworth81]

Duck! =P

Actually, It's a tie between spinach and brocolli. I'd put mushrooms in too, but 'shrooms are a fungus rather a vegetable. I'd put tomatoes too, but they are considered fruits. I'd put potatoes too, but they are considered starches.

[applehead]

don't get all technical on us ellsworth.

i love mushrooms.
i guess eating fungus is my thing.
and spinach. i love spinach.
a good spinach salad is also my thing.
but my mom told me raw spinach is poisonous
and i shouldn't eat so much of it at once?

i was told the same thing .. that's there something "toxic" in spinach ... lemme do some quick research to corroborate that


EDIT: http://www.cloudnet.com/~djeans/Asides/OxalicAcid.htm
Apparently, there's some side effects from the unhealthy susbstance in spinach (and rhubards) - oxalates.

[applehead]

wow. it's not JUST spinach.
thanks for the link!

[princess]

spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, and green beans. awww i like spinach but the unhealthy effects make me wanna stay away from my pop-eye food. :(

[nonamerasian]

The only ways I eat spinach is so overcooked that the taste is gone or if it is raw and hidden in a salad amongst less bitter things. Otherwise I think the taste is too strong.

[ChairmanMah]

i like it all except some more than others.

especially chinese veg's and mushrooms, brocolli, potato, carrot, onion, g.p.

least like would probly be sweet potato or turnip or squash

Just cheese to spinach. That shit is great.

I don't like califlower ... and i haven't tried brussel sprouts yet.

is an artichoke a vegetable? I think it is ... i don't like those much either

[yoMAMA]

[bluemonq]

with an apology to will rogers, i never met a vegetable i didn't like :smile: but butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and yams are especially good. potatoes are proof of god :biggrin:

[Adaon]

I've liked all the veggies I've ever eaten except brussel sprouts.
Daikon, bok choy, turnips of different varieties, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, peppers of sorts, sprouts of sorts, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, peas, beans of sorts, onions, ...... :biggrin:

spinach is so good to eat with vinegar. so are cucumbars. mmmmm.

[Emperor_Mike]

Plenty of Chinese vegetables, broccoli, potatoes, spinach, mushrooms of all types, cucumbers, lettuce and baby corn. Yum!

[ShortNBitter]

i like all green vegatables besides those bitter asian ones. fucking taste like shit. and leave me with crap taste.

and i dont like hoisin sauce that much either so it never works.

[tvbdude]

I like dow miu. I think the english name is pea pods(?)

[bluemonq]

hmm...no. i *think* you're referring to the sprouts. (dow miu). could be wrong though.
going to my thing about potato = god, think about it. it's like bubba from forest gump:
you can fry them, steam them, boil them, bake them, crisp them, in salads, in soups, in breads (potato flour bread), mash them, deep fry, stir fry, cube them, latkes, tempura them...the list goes on. mmm, tubers...glah...

[Adaon]

bittermelon is not technically a veggy, huh?

[tapestrybabe]

broccoli... i love broccoli...
if its cooked... i dont like it raw...

and i love cucumbers...
cucumber sandwiches...
Yummm...

[ashpen]

lettuce, zuchinni, mushrooms, cucumbers, i like all vegetables. =X maybe not beets though. nothing that tastes bitter please. =P

[bigwong235]

i love all vegetables. they add so much color and texture to your food! and they're GOOD for you! :biggrin:

[jaie]

baby corn.. and *hides* cabbages. :D

[kimpossible]

toss up between cabbage and fresh bamboo shoots. oh yes, i know how to harvest, shuck and prepare those tasty little suckers. mmm... fiber and gas.

[princess]

ooh bamboo is goooood

[seanp]

bittermelon is not technically a veggy, huh?
:eek:

[robotic]

i like corn, cauliflower and believe it....onions! but those spring-roll types which you put into chinese rice. i also enjoy brocolli. are tomatoes classified as fruits, or vegetables?

[raacluse]

I am reminded of a Frank Zappa song, "Call Any Vegetable".
