.. sorry for the title, I feel like being an idiot today.

...

Did your parents ever tell you to eat your veggies? Did you listen to them? Did you like your veggies?

I never needed to be told to eat mine, I love the veggies!

My favourites are:
Broccoli
Spinach
Cauliflower
Corn
And sometimes.. peas.

Do you like veggies?

You must be really bored.

I like vegetables, I really do.
The only vegetable I wont eat is courgette (Zucchini) and even then I'll eat it with soy source, or in Ratatouille.
My personal faves, though, are Spinach, sweetcorn, peas, broccoli and cabbage.
I even like sprouts.

omg we entured ur base and ated ur guys.

*Ahem*

Vegetables are generally nice, though it is certainly very possible to miscook them. I have yet to be served well-done beetroot, in particular.

I love them, all kinds, though I'm not all that fond of eggplant. Good article in the NY Times magazine today called "Unhappy Meals" by Michael Pollan of The Omnivore's Dilemma. I'm slowly working my way through it between posting and grading short essays.

I love broccoli too,
i also love sweet potato, beetroot and cabbage
but i always eat my veggies no matter what they are

I absolutely hate veggies. I do not eat them. Ever. My least favorite is spinach, brussell sprouts and lima beans. Gosh, I'm glad I live on my own and don't have to be forced to stay at the dinner table for two hours to eat them.

Fussy...

I was encouraged to eat them when i was ickle, but not really forced. And I never really liked them then anyways.

But then later in life I started wanting to try new things, and found that quite a lot of the things I snubbed as a child were actually quite tastish. I think its definitely a case of maturing tastebuds...

My mom never had veggies in the house.

I like them now though, and I eat them everyday. I don't have to tell my kids "eat your veggies" because they like them too.

We like cauliflower, broccoli, corn, carrots, spinach.....

Proof veggies are the good for you!

I like the following types of vegetables:

Carrots
Corn
Lima beans
Green beans
Peas
Broccoli (but only the bottom part. I don't like the flower part, unless it's steamed broccoli.)

OMG, wait!

Peas and green beans are actually veggies I like. :eek:

That's good.:)

Did I help you remember that?

Hooray!

Did I help you remember that?Yes, yes you did. :fluffle:

i like veg. i don't like fruit though. except tomatoes and grapes.

i like (in no particular order) broccoli, cauliflower, parsnips, cougettes, carrots, mange tous (snowpeas), sugar snap peas, frozen peas, aubergine, peppers, etc. i don't like sweetcorn or sprouts though.

I like vegetables. Except parsnips and swedes... their just wrong. Immoral even. And all Belgians go to hell because of sprouts. With a sin that big it has to be inheireted.

You must be really bored.

Is it really that obvious?

I think they are all teh suck.
If corn's dried and ground as a grain, it's good. But in its wet form, ewww!

Strangely enough, I like to watch them grow in a garden. But EAT them? Yuck!! I'd sooner try octopus meat.

Don't knock it 'till you tried it (same goes for homosexuality).

Also 200th post! Woo!

octopus is really yummy though.

I hate things that taste green. I don't care how many times my best friends call me to tell me I'm going to die of cancer, or whatever, I'm still not going to eat something that reminds me of leaves.

Yes, yes you did. :fluffle:

That's nice. :)

sorry for the title, I feel like being an idiot today.

We forgive you. :)

Did your parents ever tell you to eat your veggies? Did you listen to them? Did you like your veggies?

No, because I always ate them on my own.
No, because they never told me.
Yes.

My favourites are:
...
Spinach
...

I can't find any spinach anywhere on campus, because the evil E. Colis will hunt me down and steal my spleen if I eat spinach, so the university must protect us and ban it from its hallowed halls.

Do you like veggies?

I don't know one I don't like.

Wait...you don't like parsnips? :eek: Mashed? Roasted?

I'll eat pretty much any vegetable, except peas or boiled cauliflower.

I'll eat pretty much any vegetable, except peas or boiled cauliflower.I don't really like sweet vegetables. Carrots being a notable exception.

Hmmm, corn is a veggie too it seems. I like that.

I ate anything and everything as a kid... food, that is. :)

The short list is the vegetables I don't like

okra
...
...
yeah, okra - except in gumbo

Octopus is actually pretty tasty if you know what to do with it.

The only two I seem to have a real dislike for are lima beans and beets. I'll have the rest of them steamed, grilled, stewed or raw.

Sannakji. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sannakji) ;)

Haven't had that problem yet...it's more like EAT YOUR DESERT-DRY CHICKEN!

I do eat cooked broccoli though...:)

That's perhaps a little fresher than I generally like it.

I have had it marinated in lemon juice with garlic, celery, carrot and squid. MMMmmm.

I like it in honey mustard sauce with prawns, squid, and assorted vegetables. :)

I dislike brussel sprouts and sometimes beets. I heart all other veggies.

And in food related news, I made my own hummus today. Yummy! :)

I must say that I have always hated veggies, and still do to this day. They just gross me out.

With the exception of carrots, I like them.

Is it really that obvious?

Yup.

Yup.

This thread is quality. QUALITY I TELL YOU!
..

....

Ahem.

Do you like veggies?

In which orifice? But y'know, Ruffy if you're bored you could always liven up the comic book thread a bit.

Which ever stuffs your fancy.

*heads over*

Carrots, FTW!

I like my vegies, but I don't like pumpkin, brussells sprouts & zucchini (I'm not that keen on mushrooms either).

Corn on the cob in the summer along side grilled rare steak FTW

(I'm not that keen on mushrooms either).

Mushrooms are fungus. Blah...no different than licking someone's feet after not taking showers for a week.

My favourites are:
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Carrots
Turnips
Beetroot
Po Tay To-The Meaty vegetable.

Do you like veggies?

Vegetarian here. ;)

Except Brinjal, I like all vegetables. Especially Cauliflower and Potato. I can cook a decent Aloo Gobi.

i'm a vegetarian and i've always loved vegetables. i can't really think of a vegetable i don't like. i'm eating broccoli right now.
*eats*

I like veggies, well, most of them.

I hate spinach, fennel, celery, water chestnuts and a German veg called Schwarzwurz. Other than that, I love veggies. :D

My favorite veggies:

Potatoes (all different kinds!), peas, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, corn, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, onions...

I was never forced to eat anything I didn't like.

Actually, night vision goggles make your vision worse.......

Carrots, FTW!
Seeing that at the top of the page, alongside your avatar, just made me burst out laughing. :D

I hate spinach, fennel, celery, water chestnuts and a German veg called Schwarzwurz. Other than that, I love veggies. :D We would get along well in the veggie department - I hate fennel, celery and the bane of my childhood, Schwarzwurzel >.<. http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/ad/no.gif
Most other veggies I like. I love salads.

I can't think of a vegetable I don't like, but I can think of ways I don't like them prepared. For instance: I like boiled cabbage but I hate cole slaw. I like Kimchi but I hate Sauerkraut.

For those of you that hate all vegetables, try a black bean burger at Chili's.

I actually love vegetables, I'll eat 'em raw as a snack. Though there's a special place in the pits of hell for whoever invented canned peas. Horrid things. Fresh peas, dried peas, even frozen peas are fine, but canned? Bleh.

I like a good firm carrot.

Potatoes, carrots (I prefer them raw rather than cooked), green beans, peppers both hot & sweet, lettuce (I love lettuce!). I'm a little down on brocoli and brussel sprouts these days, don't know why, just a phase I'm going through. Celery is good, so's celery root (celeriac). Beets! Discovered beets the last couple years, didn't like 'em as a kid. Grew some a couple years ago, turned out okay (I get frustrated growing root vegetables, all the action's happening where I can't see it, I keep wanting to dig them up to see if they're ready to dig up). Leeks & onions. Tomatoes! Tomatillos!

Great, now I'm hungry! :D

I like most vegetables, but I'm not fond of brussels sprouts, beets, or okra.

Oh, on a random, culture-comparative note:

In Germany, the classic horror veggie of choice for kids isn't brussels sprouts as in the US but spinach.

Which explains why for the longest time I didn't get the Far Side comic about the witch who was forced to sell her brussels sprout house...


What are the Scare Veggies in other countries?

There's only one vegetable I won't eat, and it's brussels sprouts. It's kinda weird, cuz for a time I did like them. But then I had them again a few months ago, and they were vomitous.

There is hope for you and i yet.;) Well you...

For me, okra.
