Vegetables

[Gemini]

Do you like them?

They are so good for us. Full of vitamins, fibre, antioxidants (some of them) and all sort of good things.
Part of the 5 a Day which we should be having.

I love vegetables and salads. I'm not a fan of broad beans and cauliflower is a bit boring, but all other veg I love.

As I get older unfortunately my gut gives me more problems with the brassica veg - cabbage, broccoli, sprouts and the like.
This is so unfair as I love them, and broccoli is deemed to be one of the Superfoods.
I eat them all, but in small portions and even then can suffer with a lot of pain later.
I try to eat more green beans, carrots, peas etc.

I think my favourites, if I could eat what I like with no repercussions, are green beans, broccoli, sprouts, cabbage red and green, mushrooms, carrots and asparagus. I like corn on the cob and peas too.

Vegetables form a large part of my diet, I can't think of a vegetable that I dislike. Not keen on corn, broad beans and aubergines and I am not supposed to eat too many greens because of the warfarin I take. Oh I do dislike okra.

[Oma]

only ones I don't like is Okra , Broad beans ,and badly cooked Kale ,plus I don't care for cooked carrots , I will eat them but not a fan prefer raw.
Love any other kind ,
My Favourite is Strong Cabbage , Spinach , Sprouts , Butternut squash , Parsnip ,Peas , I wont order peas if im out though as when my hands shake they just shoot everywhere
Love Salad although I cant eat Spring Onion and the skin on Cucumber , It causes me pain its fine if its peeled ,

Plant, neither OH nor I are keen on aubergines, I forgot about them!

[Nanto2girls]

We like some vegetables. Don't like spinach.
I've never bought okra,aubergines,courgettes or butternut squash.

I'm Scottish....we don't do vegetables unless it's carrots, swede and maybe cabbage!! Saying that we had a lovely selection at lunch yesterday and I'd have happily eaten them on their own! Not too keen on broad beans,sprouts but I'll eat them. Like spinach in a curry but not on its own. I like pumpkin/squash soup but OH doesn't. Aubergines OK in moussaka, courgettes in ratatouile.

I love all vegetables. One of my favourite lunches is a big plate of cheesy veg. Very healthy and delicious. I also enjoy a wide variety of roasted veg.

My Pa was a green grocer so we ate all veg and fruit in season and some exotics. I can’t think of a veg I don’t like except swede but I’ll eat it mashed with butter and carrots. Do you remember eating pomegranates with a pin?

[Gemini]

Ooh yes I loved them Grauntie!

[Qwerty]

Sunshine what do you mean by cheesy veg I’m intrigued ?
I don’t do much veg and certainly not grass sorry salad but I do like cheese 🧀

[Nana]

I was going to ask Sunshine the same question Qwerty.🤣 Can't stand the smell or texture of mushrooms.

[Sunshine]

Hi Qwerty, cheesy veg is just like cauliflower cheese, only made with a selection of veggies. A big plate of assorted veg covered with a cheese sauce.

[Glammanana]

Wow Sunshine thats something I have never thought of doing I must have a go.
I love most veg but cannot for the life of me cook butternut squash properly.
On my weight loss menu I eat all sorts of veg every day I love spring cabbage and sprout tops for their strong flavour and portabello mushrooms love them,stuffed with veg mainly sweetcorn and peas.

Sunshine - that sounds delicious - I'll certainly have a go.

I love piles of vegetables on my plate and a tiny speck of meat!

Easy peas then Sunshine all the same I wouldn’t have thought of it , I do put cheese sauce on my cauliflower and spread on the rest of my meal, but if not cooking cauliflower never would have made cheese sauce thanks for that 👍🏻
