Go-To Veggie

[debodun]

Do you have a go-to vegetable? If so, what is it?

 

[hollydolly]

Broccoli...or Sugar snap peas

 

[Aunt Bea]

Mostly low carb vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, mushrooms, cauliflower.

If I could only pick one it would probably be cabbage.

I also keep carrots, celery, and onions on hand.

This time of year it's asparagus, asparagus, asparagus.

 

[Ruthanne]

Kale lately. I use it as a salad base. It lasts a long time in the fridge too. I like many other veggies too.

Carrots. They’re still passable in the winter, delicious when fresh in the summer.

A cucumber salad is my green for the winter.

It’s still a long time until we’ll be getting fresh, local veggies. It freezes at night.

I'm a big fan of Spinach also, I add it to soups and anything that has a sauce or gravy..... and I use a lot of Brussel Sprouts too , as well as mushrooms and red onions...

 

[PamfromTx]

Too many to list. I was raised eating a lot of vegetables. I favor peas, baby spinach, carrots, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, etc.

 

[Lewkat]

Brussels Sprouts. People love 'em or hate 'em. I am a lover.

 

[Kaila]

Carrots. Any way. Even keeping cans of carrots, are fine for non-perishable back-ups.

 

[Chet]

Sweet corn.

 

[CinnamonSugar]

Baby carrots, sugar snap peas and sliced English cucumber, raw for a side with sandwich at lunch.

green beans or asparagus for supper side

 

[Pink Biz]

Broccoli and brussel sprouts, onions and corn.

 

[MrPants]

Peas, mushrooms, cauliflower, yellow beans, and carrots would be my go to fresh veggies. Canned brown beans are also a favourite! Unfortunately where I live fresh veggies are a rarity so it's mostly canned stuff

 

[jujube]

Broccoli, corn, asparagus.

 

[MarciKS]

Is lettuce considered a veggie?

 

[CinnamonSugar]

I would say so, @MarciKS

 

[Jules]

Beets are another of my favourites.

There aren’t too many veggies that I don’t like. The ones for Asian meals look great, I just never know quite how to use them.

Whatever we have for dinner, I always serve two veggies.

 

[Tommy]

I like most vegetables and we eat a wide variety, but I would say the "go to" might be broccoli. In season, it's whatever is coming from the garden at the moment.

 

[Pappy]

Peas at the top of my list and everything else, minus okra..

 

[debodun]

In no particular order - spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli.

 

[Judycat]

Lately I've been eating a mix of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Add some green peppers and onions and it's pretty good with chicken and rice.

 

[AnnieA]

Baby lettuce/spinach mix, broccoli. Like most all others.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

We eat a variety of vegetables but the one that the whole family loves is Broccoli.
My only problem in cooking any vegetable is that we love them cooked or steamed until only tender crisp. The hubby likes then next to mush. I generally have to take ours out and leave his in until it resembles baby food. I guess he was brought up that way.
Years ago I think people did cook their veggies to death.
Such a shame all the vitamins went down the drain.

 

[RadishRose]

I love all of the ones I've ever tried. Especially green ones

 

[Aunt Marg]

Tomatoes, cucumbers, and radishes.

Ruth n Jersey, right you are about people over-cooking vegetables.

Whenever I make the likes of stir-fry's, chow-miens, and other veggie dishes, into the pot the veggies go, a few quick turns, and the dish is served.
