Broccoli, corn, asparagus.

You'd stop having asparagus in a hurry if you lived in the Arctic!

If I lived in the arctic, it wouldn't matter about asparagus because I'd be dead.

I hardly ever boil veggies anymore. I eat many raw and the ones I do eat I cook or steam in the microwave.

I wonder if they sell loosies like some of the corner stores and neighborhood bars do with cigarettes.

I've only seen them sold in bunches here in the grocery stores. Not sure who buys it - not me, that's for sure. There's a lot of stuff I don't buy at the grocery store. Food poverty is a huge deal in the Arctic. Many things are unaffordable for most a lot of folk.

I'm a little surprise I don't have scurvy because I rarely eat fresh fruit. Too pricey!

I'd go for Kale. It's widely available in supermarkets, but it has usually been massacred and not fit for human consumption.
It's usually sold chopped up without the centre stock being removed and so is virtually unusable for most dishes.

Kale make good soup. I make mine with sliced turkey kielbasa and white cannellini beans instead of the traditional Portuguese sausage and kidney beans.

I use it all the time and it's cut up--I find it good for many dishes.

What variety of kale are you using? I suspect that we have different varieties here in the UK, and I'm afraid that UK supermarkets are not great at presenting fresh veges. Sometimes farmer's markets sell vegetables whole and not hacked to bits. We grow a dwarf curly kale and you really have to remove the tough centre stem on each leaf. Other varieties like Cavolo Nero and black strap have a much finer leaf.

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

My favorite veggie. No joke.

My go to is probably broccoli

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

Thank you for not referring the them as "veggies". That idiotic habit of calling things "...ies" drives me crazy. I detest fad followers who cannot think for themselves. (Sorry. In a bad mood today)

So, mine is raw broccoli. Maybe lightly steamed. And spinach. Mmmmmmm, love a good spinach salad.

I also am crazy about asparagus.

Grilled asparagus is a real treat.

My mom used to make asparagus toast. Put cooked spears on slices of toast. Place slices of your favorite cheese over that. Sprinkle with paprika. Grill until cheese melts. Serve warm.
