Best vegetable?

What is your favorite Vegetable/s? I like broccoli it is my favorite with melted cheese. Are you the type of person who doesn't eat them? I don't think french fries counts as an Answer!

You OT?

• Broccoli with Cauliflower
• Green Beans
• Potatoes
• Corn
• Lettuce

Those are the veggies I can only eat and the rest are meh.

Big fan of the turnip.

Potatoes, because they can be prepared in a number of different ways. Fries, pancakes, hash browns, mashed, baked, home fries, wedges and chips. Yummy!

Onions.

So diverse, so much flavor. Spicy and raw, caramelized and sweet. Fried and crunchy, or braised and juicy. And all the different varieties.

The founding vegetable of mirepoix, the three-part mix of vegetables (the other 2/3 being carrot and celery) that serves as a building block and foundation for much European food.

I mean, there are sexier vegetables. There are possibly better vegetables suited for specific roles in a dish. But nothing is as diverse and useful as an onion.

Honorable mentions:

• Potatoes (various types). There's nothing as simple or as comforting as some boiled potatoes with a bit of salt and butter. Easy to prepare and found essentially everywhere.
• Chiles (of various types). Mild and spicy, sweet and savory, fresh and dried and roasted...they are a delicious spectrum of flavor.
• Beans (of all types). Healthy and tasty, and a lot of diversity. From the small and hearty lentil to the rich and creamy fava bean.
• Tomatoes. I mean, such a huge part of a lot of cooking. And natural MSG bombs!

@mrbojangles25: Heh. Yeah, onions and garlic end up in about half the things I cook.

Technically a fruit, but tomatoes are the ones I eat most as far as plain, raw veggies go. Got lucky that both my kids like them, so we always have some cherry or grape tomatoes around for a snack.

If we are sticking to the legal definition, carrots are probably my favorite. Especially when they are pickled with jalapenos.

Onions. Everything is better with onions.

Rainbow carrots. I find them to be very underrated. They have an amazing flavor to it. Baby carrots go great with fruit dip/yogurt or peanut/nut butter.

I also like green beans, cucumbers, zucchini, potatoes, some tomatoes, and to name a few…

Corn is more of a grain, IMO, although, I do like corn.

This guy cooks. Onion is clearly the best veggie.

Whenever someone is like "I don't like onions", my response is generally "Yes you do" lol.

I mean I get it, we've all had a bite of burger with a sharp, raw onion in it that made our mouth taste like soap. But onions, in one form or another, are in a lot (if not most) savory dishes.

Indian food? Oh you better believe it.

Thai food? Sure thing, though usually as shallots and green onions.

European? Most definitely.

American? Hell yeah, my favorite chili calls for three onions per pound of ground beef.

Yeah I love the purple carrots, they're sweeter, while the white ones are almost starchier. Might just be placebo effect in action, but they really do taste a bit different.

As for corn, yes and no to being a grain. I think in most situations it is, but fresh eating corn definitely seems like a vegetable (though it's so sweet, it should be a fruit!). Ever had fresh corn ice cream? Sooooo good.

Corn is passable and has vitamin's A & E.

My favorite is bi-color corn on the cob.

A lot of people seem to think it's weird, yeah.

@mrbojangles25: The yellow, white, and purple ones have a good sweet flavor to it. They sure do. That’s what’s awesome about rainbow carrots. They would make a great vegetable for kids and teens that are not into veggies. I used to not want to eat veggie as a kid/teen.

Things like popcorn is considered a grain. Love popcorn, though, especially cheddar. Never had corn ice cream.

Onions, garlic, eggplant, cabbage, pumpkin. Pickled vegetables? Yes please.

I'm a fan of all vegetables from what I've tried...apart from turnips. I can eat turnips and be tolerable of them. But, they just have this earthy, bitter flavour profile to them that's just always been too overpowering for me. I associate it with tasting like dirt, almost. It truly is a "root" vegetable after all. My grandma puts turnip into her chicken soup and whenever I've had a bowl, the flavour just dominates everything else completely. (Yep, my dislike towards it probably originated from this dish.)

A vegetable that I used to dislike growing up but now love is celery. Rhubarb I've actually grown fond of as well. Especially in desserts.

I'm a fan of peas in general and green beans if they're cooked southern style. By that I mean "to the pot." Those who know will know what that means.
