Which of these green veggies do you personally like?

[Caitilin]

I like almost any greens. :) I have never had kale, so I can't speak to that one. But I agree with PPs who mentioned peppers and celery!:D

[JenniferB]

The only one on the list I don't like is cabbage. :ack2: I have had it a few times where I liked it fine, but I can't figure out how to make it even half decent. :bigear:

 

I love to stir fry cabbage in a little sesame oil along with onions, celery, carrots, and red/orange/yellow peppers. At the last few minutes I add a splash of soy sauce. It's really good.

[Leighton Academy]

I love them all except brussel sprouts which I've never tasted. Well, I say I "like" kale. I've never tasted it cooked. We just add it to our smoothies every morn. I've never had broccoli rabe or chard either. I cannot eat celery. The stringiness just grosses me out. (shudders) I *love* fried okra! We love green veggies here! Well, my youngest doesn't love them as much as the rest of us. We're winning him over bit by bit. :tongue_smilie:

[Firefly]

I like them all save for the brussels sprouts. :ack2:

[PinkInTheBlue]

The only thing I didn't check was brussel sprouts. However, with enough salt, I can like those too. :) I was just thinking of keeping them moderately healthy. Enough butter and salt can make anything taste good...except most fish.

 

:)

[kitten18]

I voted for all of them.

 

My favorite is Asparagus.

 

Least favorite is peas, great if they're fresh, o.k. frozen, I won't eat canned peas.

[stripe]

I hate canned peas, yech! I am not a fan of brussel sprouts. Zucchini should never, ever be boiled, and garlic with broccoli is awesome.

[Old Dominion Heather]

I voted other for lettuce. I love lettuce.

[Capt_Uhura]

I didn't mark brussel sprouts but I do eat them, especially if they are cooked in bacon. But, if it were me alone, I wouldn't cook them. THe family likes them so I tolerate them. I'm sort of that way w/ zucchini as well, although I like it more than brussel sprouts.

[LibraryLover]

I've grown all of that. :)

 

I esp love love love chard!

[helena]

I also love okra!

[missmoe]

I love them all. I'm with Daisy--I love all veggies (except lima beans!!!!)

[OrganicAnn]

I like them all! (Especially if they are fixed right)

 

We are having brussel sprouts and green beans for Thanksgiving.

[jenL]

I will eat anything in the poll, except for brussel sprouts. They just seem so bitter to me.

[justamouse]

I love them and eat them all.

 

for brussel sprouts, when I buy them fresh I break apart all of the leaves and saute them with evoo, garlic and lemon, YUM! When they're frozen (and I think much sweeter) I brown some garlic, onion, and bacon and saute them till just warm in that.

 

We eat veggies like that all the time.

[helena]

Poor kale.. It's not doing too good in the poll. :001_smile:

 

I have a great recipe to share. My mom's friends from Sri Lanka make it, (works with S. Indian too), (maybe all Indian food?).

 

Take each leaf remove bottom stem, and quickly slice down the middle to remove some of the stem (in the leaf part), roll and slice very thinly. Set aside. Chop a little onion. Lightly saute onion and mustard seed, when transparent add kale. Stir and toss, add a handful of shredded coconut (sweet or unsweetened, kids like sweet ;)), add a little salt, cook till tender.

:drool5:

[Matryoshka]

Poor kale.. It's not doing too good in the poll. :001_smile:

 

Mmmmm..... kale! I think it may be my favorite vegetable. It's not as versatile as spinach and broccoli, which I eat more often, but yum yum!

[Spy Car]

I love them all, especially kales (we eat many varieties including Russian, black and dinosaur) and brussels sprouts.

[dcjlkplus3]

really the only green vegetables I like are salad fixings, romain lettuce, spinach is okay and cucumbers are good. I.m trying to expose my kids to more, but its hard, when neither I or my husband like them.

[MyLittleWonders]

I like them all except peas and greens. Spinach is great sautéed with garlic, red bell pepper, chicken, corn, and piled atop rice. I also like it in smoothies. We've recently discovered that we all like Brussel sprouts - dh will steam them with lemon pepper and serve them that way. Then tonight, he decided to try them dipped in mayo (Bestfood's/Hellman's only :lol: ), and they tasted good like that! Not on the list that we all love are artichokes - we even grow them.

[Elizabeth in WA]

I like them ALL and...

 

broccoli rabe

artichokes

bok choy and every other kind of edible cabbage or green leaf on the entire planet from arugula to swiss chard

bell peppers

 

Okay, honestly I've never met a green vegetable (or any vegetable) that I didn't like.

 

:iagree:

[nd293]

I like most of them, but I also wouldn't opt for any of them on their own. We cook with lots of spices, sauces (home-made, not bottled), oil etc. So I wouldn't opt for steamed cabbage, no, but in a stirfry with a good satay sauce? Hmmmmm! Steamed aspargus? Probably not, but fried with butter and garlic? Yum!

[ondreeuh]

I eat all of them because I know they are good for me, but I don't enjoy most of them. I chop them up and cook them with much tastier things like tomatoes and cheese.

[gaillardia]

lettuce, cucumbers, celery, bok choy, most green peppers, kale.

tolerate baby peas sometimes.

brusell sprouts...every five to ten years.:tongue_smilie:

is that spelled correctly? brussell sprouts.?

[Laurie4b]

Lima beans are my other. The only one I didn't pick was kale. Greens other than spinach do a number on my digestive tract.

 

oh Ack. Gag. How could I forget limas? But maybe they count as a legume instead of a green vege? There are very few things that I could not get down, but limas come close.

[Sherry in OH]

I like them all, depending on cooking method. Sorry midwesterners, but I can't even bring myself to try green bean casserole. Why would you do that to innocent green beans? I prefer my green beans lightly steamed, no butter or seasonings necessary. Stir-fried is also good.

[Rhonda in TX]

broccoli - steamed only (yum!); spinach - fresh, not cooked; Do sugar snap peas count? Love, love them.

 

I'm not big on greens, unfortunately, but I'm trying. A few years ago, I wouldn't have eaten any of the above!

[keptwoman]

Okay, honestly I've never met a green vegetable (or any vegetable) that I didn't like.

:iagree:

 

ALL!!! I could live on veggies if someone else would be willing to cut them up and prepare them for me every day!!! As it is, we eat a TON.

 

This past week while grocery shopping my little dd snuck red peppers and brussel sprouts into our cart. I didn't notice until we were checking out. I pretended to be upset and asked her why she did that. She said, "Because they're my favorite foods!!!" Gotta love that kid!!!

 

Seriously though - I have to hide the brussel sprouts. My kids will eat them raw - right off the stalk!!!

 

LOL We were at the Green Grocers a few weeks ago, DD got really excited when she saw brussels sprouts "Look Mum, our favourite!"

[Jennifer in MI]

:iagree:

She and my dd would get along well!! :lol:

[HRAAB]

I love all of them you listed. In fact, I love vegetables. The only vegetables I just like, not love, are parsnips.

[jplain]

I love kale (really, any greens) and Brussels sprouts.

I'm thrilled that I can buy enough kale for dinner for 4 for under a dollar. :D

[jplain]

The only vegetables I just like, not love, are parsnips.

Try making baked parsnip fries. My kids gobble 'em up.

[Kim in Appalachia]

ALL!!! I could live on veggies if someone else would be willing to cut them up and prepare them for me every day!!! As it is, we eat a TON.

 

 

 

 

I feel the same way. If only someone would get them from my garden, clean them, cut them up, and prepare them I would eat a lot more.

 

I love veggies, so does my dh and my oldest dd. The rest of the kids are not as fond of veggies, but they do eat more than most kids, just don't serve them squash.

 

We currently have 2 baskets of peppers sitting on my counter. So far, I cut up 2 quarts worth for the freezer. Love the fresh veggies, not as fond of the work.

[txhomemom]

My dad used to have a vegetable garden so I grew up eating a lot of fresh vegetables. I actually love spinach and broccoli which I know most people hate. I also love lima beans although they are a bit starchy. My next favorite is peas followed by green beans. Love, love, love green bean casserole and broccoli cheese and rice casserole. I will occasionally eat lettuce, but I do not like salad...I tend not to like raw vegetables.

[delaney]

Not sprouts but other than that is good. I especially like anything that I didn't have to cook!

[AuntPol]

I voted for everything but collards/kale and brussel sprouts. I don't care for cooked greens (spinach I do raw) and I've only had brussel sprouts once and at that time, I didn't like cabbage. I've only just started eating cabbage this year

 

For other -romaine, green leaf lettuce, most other raw lettuces, celery, green peppers, cucumbers, green onions, and I can tolerate okra if it's in a soup.
