How often do you folks eat vegetables?  I find myself eating much more in the summer time when my gardens are producing.  Right now zucchini and green beans are on the menu a lot in my house.  What kind do you like to eat?

My Zucchini and Squash are starting to play out still a few but the heat starts to get them in July, Sweet Corn is in as are the Green Beans, Peppers and cucumbers. My greens are long gone and it's getting about time to plant them again in late Aug. I got my first ripe tomato today, which means I'll have about 10,000 by next week.

But yes I tend to eat more veggies in the summer from the garden, we grill corn, zukes and squash a few times a week. Make pickles, salsa, freeze corn and can pickled squash. All kinds of stuff.

Great now I'm hungry.   

I awways eat my veggies, dey make me big and stwong.

I like greens too. Collards and turnip and musterd. I like spinach too. Boiled or stuffed cabbage. My step ma is a pollack...she made some dam good glumpkis! (I hope I spelled that right....)

I hate all veggies except corn and potatoes.
Greens of any kind make me gag.
The smell of a salad makes me nauseous and the crunch of lettuce between my teeth is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I wish I liked vegetables, but I don't.

You sound a bit Irish, me laddie!

I like lettuce - well, actually it tastes awful by itself, but put some ranch dressing and a few croûtons on it, it's great.  Our bean plants will start producing any day now, and we'll be eating those every day for a month or two.  I like sweet corn, peas, broccoli with cheese sauce, cauliflower, celery with peanut butter, rhubarb, potatoes (hate sweet potatoes though), carrots, onions, heck, anything but tomatoes actually.

Try a bit of barbecue sauce on it, that'll improve it.  :bouncegiggle:

I like all vegetables except a few disgusting "cruciferous" vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts.  I do like cabbage, though.  I prefer to eat tomatoes and carrots when their cooked, and of course I don't eat raw onions.  And I'm not a fan of asparagus.  I don't eat as many fresh raw vegetables as I should. 

Personally, I look at it this way:

Cows spend their whole lives eating vegetables.  Their body removes all the bad stuff from them and then uses the best part of the veggies to build muscle tissue, which I then grill and eat.  Eating beef is simply a more efficient means to eat all the greens you need.

So how do I like my vegetables?

On the hoof.

I prefer meat but I do like potatoes (prepared any way), sweetcorn, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots (boiled, not raw) and especially brussles sprouts.

Umm, Indy, why do I get the feeling that you may not be as "regular" as you could be?  Not that I care, mind you.

Thinking about it some more, I think my aversion to certain vegetables comes almost entirely from being force-fed them as a child.  I still remember gagging and almost vomiting from some broccoli I was forced to eat.  When I had the opportunity to try out new vegetables on my own, I tended to like them.

My pooper works just fine, Reverend, Thanks for asking!!


How's yours? :wink:

No disrespect intended to you or your poop, Indy. 

I do find fresh fruits and vegetables, erm, helpful in that regard.

I don't eat enough vegetables as I should be eating.  I love corn, potatoes, Broccoli is good now and then.  I love my various types of lettuce and tomatoes.  Peppers are my overall favorite vegetable to eat both the regular types of peppers and the hot peppers. 

What do you do for fruit: eat monkeys?

I used to hate all veggies except potato chips, french fries, tater tots and ketchup. Sometimes I'd make a meal of all 4 mixed together. Then I had the diabetes AND the heart surgery and since I've learned to enjoy eating my way through theplant kingdom. I still eat meat, but not nearly as much, and if I eat white potatoes it's always with some kind of high fiber-low glycemic veggie like broccoli or cauliflower in order to keep my sugar low. I changed my ways while I was on the operating table, but it took me quite awhile, a month or more, before I actually started to like my new diet. After awhile I did feel better. lost weight, felt more energetic, all the stuff say will happen if you eat more vegetables.  And when I do eat meat, which I still love, I can't eat as much as I used to eat. Used to chow down a 20oz prime rib, toss the baked potato and eat another prime rib for dessert. Can't do that now, my body doesn;t like it anymore. Now I'm happy with a 10oz cut of something leaner.

So basically I eat any vegetable anytime anywhere. I like them all except radishes. Summer salads are great.

I usually regularly eat potatoes, corn, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions.  I try to eat potatoes with dinner, depending on the meal.  Usually for lunch I have a Chicken Ceaser Salad, so I get a good mix of poultry with my vegetables there.

Sometimes what I like to do for dinner, is make a side dish of rice, but chop up some celery and onions, then throw them in the pot, then add a pinch of salt.  Gives it that nice kick for taste instead of just plain rice.

i eat carrots sometimes.
