Best vegetable (no potato)

[Proper Tidy]

Or stuff that is good cos it makes other stuff, like I dunno coffee or something. Just a veg you would eat.

I think maybe red cabbage

 

[Proper Tidy]

Onion would be the obvious one but I'm also excluding. Vegetable as a standalone meal/side dish

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Potato

 

[ska invita]

Potato

With onion
And cheese
Then beans
Then bone it
Then give it a hobnob
Then tag pogofish

 

[fishfinger]

Yes potato.

 

[ska invita]

Chips? Is that a vegetable?

 

[Espresso]

Chips? Is that a vegetable?

If it is, then so is scotch.

[Proper Tidy]

Everybody apart from bellydog is a spud eating troll

 

[Ax^]

can also add some chef brown sauce to the potato

 

[Sprocket.]

Cauliflower or
Broccoli.
Though can be lifted to another level by adding another vegetable, cheese.

and greatly improved with healthy veggie smooth of scotch and iceberg water

Nice aren't they, I like them in things more but good roasted with red onion and garlic and stuff

Cabbage. Shredded cabbage, steamed cabbage, cabbage dumplings, sauerkraut, kimchi, fried cabbage with smoked paprika and beans, etc

Cabbage mixed in with mash ( and onions)

sprouts (Brussels) I eat them daily for almost six months of the year - though I only use them in stew with a lot of other ingredients - good on day 1, even better on day 2 and 3 ...
The rest of the year it's broccoli - though I find that's best stir-fried ...

For a very long time my evening meal was based around stir-fried white cabbage and onions.

We've just got a leafy veg called field mustard in English coming up on our plot and that's delicious straight out the yard to be done quick fried with a bit of garlic. Love sprouts too and spinach.

 

[Proper Tidy]

Spinach is good but I dunno how people are suggesting sprouts as the best veg ffs.

Carrots are quite versatile. Peas should be a contender on cost, convenience, and shelf life

Carrots

If peas and beans are in then peas and chickpeas would make my top ten too. We also grow string beans which are pretty versatile in Chinese cooking, both as a veg side and done with various meats.

Peas. They were the only cooked veg I ate till my mid 20s (I'd eat some salad veg as well).

or

Kale. Cause you can let it cook for an extra ten minutes by accident and it won't noticeably change.

 

[Proper Tidy]

Chickpeas are good but I'm fed up of them. Do you have those weird cucumber things they call melon jim?

We've had a few different gourds and pumpkins going, not sure if you saw the shonky trellis we have made out of old window frames in the background to my ugly mug pic. That was a jungle of pumpkins first year here but we've cut right back as it was pretty oppressive in full bloom
They crop really well to the point you get sick of them before you finish. Also Absalom pear/bitter gourd which is nice but not every meal as it lives up to its name.

 

[LDC]

Potatoes have never counted as a vegetable in my head, and I think they don't in the 5 a day thing either do they?

Nor are beans or any pulses you cheats mentioning them above!

Carrots, kale, broccoli, cabbage, spring greens. Any of them.

Potatoes, frozen peas and canned tomatoes are the only veggies I can remember from my suburban 60s and 70s upbringing - perhaps swede on special occasions ...

There are the things I meant I think, had them with pork in a really sweet sauce, I think neither the sauce nor the cucumber stuff would have been pleasant without each other but it worked well together. But weird.

Fennel, but I may be in a minority with this one.

Only ever had tinned peas when I was a kid. We didn't get a proper freezer till I was 13.
