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.
Here's a website that I found useful in determining the nutritional content of various foods. It also has history and recipes for about 130 of the most healthy foods.
