Hey everyone...I'm new to this whole thing...and terribly bored...and since I'm currently staring at the broccoli on my plate (ick) I'm going to ask one simple question:

What's your Favorite and Least Favorite Vegetable?

I'll eat any veggie raw...but cooked...ughh...so nasty...yuppers

i can't stand veggies!! i know i know, how am i possibly alive. i don't know either! but seriously...i don't understand how you guys can eat them!! they make that squeaking noise when you bite down! bleeeecccccccccchhhhhhhh!!!!!! i can eat corn, that's about it. i used to be able to do carrots, but not anymore. and i can eat spinach when it's in things, but not by itself.

i have a thing with textures. i love the taste of onions/peppers etc...but i can't stand the squeak! icky icky!!

I was a weird kid, I loved my vegetables!. My favorite is spinach. Yes, I eeven ate it as a child. I grew up near a small farm on LI and had access to spme really good vegetables. The farmer used to take me out into the fields as a child and let me pick my own corn, tomatos, string beans etc. My most recent favorite is brocoli rabe.

broccoli and its cousin cauliflower, red cabbage, carrots, i like most of them. Asparagus has an intrestering taste. not to fond of lima beans. never had brussel sprouts before so i dont know what to say about it.

Favorite: Carrots. I like them raw or cooked, any treatment. I like broccoli cooked, but not so much raw. My favorite Chinese restaurant makes good sauteed/seasoned green beans.

Least Favorite: Green Peppers. Ewwww. I will not eat them cold or hot. I will not eat them in a pot. I do not like green peppers, Sam - I'd rather eat green eggs and ham! :-p

About the only food/flavor I dislike more than green peppers is cherries. I don't like cherry anything - cherry pie, cherry popsicles, cherry life savers...

My favorite fresh fruit is pineapple. Bananas are good. I like oranges but they're so messy. I like apples and strawberries, but more in their unhealthy "apple pie"/"strawberry shortcake" modes.

Holliwood....When I was a kid in the 60's and 70's I lived in eastern Suffolk County. We had a farm in Bellport where I grew up. I know it isn't there now. But there are still farms in Eastern Suffolk.

Bellport was cool (my grandma has property out there) for once it didn't feel like we were in suburbia =) I hope those farms are able to stay open you know? Urbanization is only good up to a point.

My favorite dish in the world consists of snow peas, sugar snap peas, and stringbeans in a ginger and sesame sauce.
I love it.

Asparagus is the easy winner. I loathe celery.

Fortunately I've always loved vegetables because since signing up with Weight Watchers, they're my life! If it weren't for veggies, I'd starve.

I really love them all except okra and parsnips. (Although I do like those parsnip chips in those Terra chips).

Brocoli and zuccini.
wait...
Do portobello mushrooms count as a vegetable?
Are avocados considered fruit because the seed is on the inside?

Mushies are vegies, aren't they? But avocado is a pear.

Mamie,I know what you mean. My life is a perpetual diet, so I do miss potatoes. I'm really not supposed to eat pumpkin, right?

My parents where almost nazi-like in making my eat my vegetables, so to this day I will eat them with second thought.

Except brussel sprouts. Heck even my mother refused to eat them, she said they produced nothing but excessive farting. Anyway they taste like dirt. The thought of eating cauliflower as a kid actually made me sick a few times, but I have no problem eating it today.

My favorite vegetables are pumpkin, sweet potato, peas and corn.

Wildcat -
Pumpkin is just a squash and like other squashes, it's very low in calories. The problem comes with all the ADDITIONS....

Wheee, I like veggies! (Yeah, I'm a weird teenager, or so says everyone my age that can't stand anything green and/or remotely leafy)
favorite: broccoli
least favorite: brussels sprouts (I'm sorry, they look too much like Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors, and I can't eat a man eating plant)

And I have to agree with anyone that says dancing veggies are creepy... I've seen too many elementary school nutrition "musicals" for my liking...
