Least Favourite Vegetable

[trashpony]

lentils are a vegetable aren't they?

talk about texture.... *vomits on keyboard*

No, they're a pulse.

Brussel sprouts are the WORST.

 

[jugularvein]

That's not a vegetable, it's made from animals!

I loathe celery, cucumber and broad beans.

yeah yeah i know

 

[tastebud]

vegetable???

ha ha ha.
you know what i mean!

 

[jugularvein]

ha ha ha.
you know what i mean!

monday vibe coming through the boards today. maybe it's the rain. maybe i should go home now.... yes i think i will.

 

[belboid]

you know what i mean!

carrots??

 

[jugularvein]

carrots??

dangerous......

 

[perplexis]

Courgettes are vile vile vile
Celery, why? It's not food- It ruins everything with its sneaky insipid bitter-mingingness.
Euch.

And cauliflower- smells veery bad, and did you know it's actually a massive tumour. Yes, we've bred a plant to grow huge tumours so we can eat them!
ukey smilie:

 

[fifibelle]

Really? OMG! I had a pee a few weeks' ago and thought I had some horrible disease and then remembered I'd had asparagus for lunch!

Yes, I really do like the smell. Very strange......(not sure I should admit to that )

 

[veracity]

I really like vegetables with the following exceptions:

Sweet potato - what's that all about? It's a potato but it's sweek - yuk
Cauliflower - bland, disgusting texture
Marrow - just throw them away, there is little you can do to redeem this hideously overgrown courgette

Peas and beans and lentils are vegetables in the colloquial sense, so they count.
I don't know how anyone can not like lentils. Sprouts are nice too (unless some bingowinged cornbeefshanked charlady has cooked them for school Xmas dinner - they taste like old socks when that happens).

 

[rennie]

i love cauliflower but yeah celery is rank.

 

[jugularvein]

I don't know how anyone can not like lentils.

maybe because they're fucking disgusting?

 

[rennie]

naaa lentils are YUM.

 

[Orang Utan]

maybe because they're fucking disgusting?

But there's so many different kinds! Brown Lentil & Tomato and Lentil & Bacon soups are the best soups ever.

Celary, brussels ,sweet potatos err ,

 

[beeboo]

I think most vegetables can be redeemed with the right cooking methods.

Spouts: cut up and sauted with butter and bacon

Aubergine: cooked long and slow with lots of garlic and olive oil.

Swede: mashed up with carrots and butter and lots of pepper

In fact, come to think of it, adding vast amounts of oil or butter always tends to help things along.

Turnip is the only veg I’ve blacklisted on my organic delivery box. I’m sure there are (buttery) ways of improving it, but I was always crestfallen when I got a turnip in me box.

 

[Derian]

I'd forgotten about turnips! Yes, don't like those either. But beetroot, yeuuch. Still my least favourite.

 

[jugularvein]

But there's so many different kinds! Brown Lentil & Tomato and Lentil & Bacon soups are the best soups ever.

nope. they're all fucking rank. i remember someone going on about them and how i should try them (years ago) and really did try, but to no avail. disgusting

 

[Orang Utan]

Ooh yeah turnips and magelwurzels - the French only feed theirs to livestock, which is saying something.

Off with his head. You're not coming to any of my dinner parties

Pickled beetroot is yum. And so is borscht. Just make sure you're not wearing a light-coloured top when you eat it.

 

[jugularvein]

lentils are SHIT

Did you read that on a mutant vegetable conspiracy theory forum?.....it's a brassica flower still tightly in bud.

Is that the same as mangold.. they serve the leaves in Croatia with pototoes and garlic.. really lush.. it's called "blitva" in Croatian...

 

[tastebud]

thankfully, i love all the vegetables (/ non-vegetables) mentioned thus far on this thread.
except: the awful beast that i mentioned in my earlier post!
yuk!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I don't like fennel. I'm not keen on anything that tastes strongly aniseedy. I don't mind Anise as a flavouring in South Asian food at all for instance. It's when it's the only or main taste. I don't drink Ricard or Pastis for the same reason. I don't much care for boiled sweet potato. Tastes a bit like Turkish Delight which I don't like. I like it roasted or baked in its skin though. Otherwise I love veg. I'm not one of those people who are a bit OCD about 'taint'. I knew a guy who was almost phobic about cucumber, he wouldn't eat a salad that had any cucumber, even if it had been picked out and neither would he use a knife to cut a tomato if it had been used to cut a cucumber.

 

[Orang Utan]

With you on aniseedy things and sweet potatoes - sweet potato crisp are lovely.

 

[Ms T]

I don't like those either. They're not a veg though.

Yes they are. And they're lovely.

Turnips are lovely in stews, imho.

 

[Ms T]

Are avocados vegetables? They're the only thing I don't like -- the texture is vile, like putty. Bleugh.
