Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hi- I'm Kelly and I am new to the group. I am one of the fortunate ones who lives in a very pro-farming area. Thankfully not just Pigs! We have lots of lovely farmer's markets here in NC. All the foods are wonderful and very cheap! I really love the fresh honey! But back to topic; I eat all the veggies I can get from our farmer's market, but my favorite is the fresh green beans. Its a little bit of work but this country girl doesn't mind. -Kelly **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I love swedes (rutabagas), parnips and turnips but I know so many people don't. Maybe it's an acquired taste. I grew up on them, I don't know any Swedes who don't use them in their cooking. Have you tried them grated raw on salads? You just might like them this way. I know most people eat raw grated carrots but many don't care for their carrots cooked.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I like carrots no matter what you do to them, as long as they aren't burned. UGH! I like turnips. There is a farm area outside Anchorage about 50 miles and they grow turnips out there. Durring the short harvest time they sell turnips in their produce stands. I always have to stop in and get a couple turnips. I eat them raw, on th way home. The Farmers market may or may not have them and the grocery stores only have ones shipped in from out of state that aren't as fresh as they could be. A really fresh turnips is crunchy like and apple and sweet. I don't particularly like them cooked, though, because they loose the fresh sweet taste and get a bitter taste.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I eat all vegetables no matter what they are with the exception that they may cost too much. I don't think there is one I don't like. I have lots of favorites but I could make myself sick on broccoli I think and brussel sprouts.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hi Linda, Do you or any of the ladys on the list go to Farmers Markets? There seem to be alot of them in this area.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 There are not many over here and if they have them I am usually at work when they are going on noon to 3 on a Wednesday well you get the idea. There is not much farming over in this area it would be local gardeners only really. This seems to be more cattle country and I am a vegetarian LOL. So I head for the local stores and see what they have. I am 12 miles from the good stores and 30 from a whole foods market.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Oh I forgot to tell you I do also grow a lot of my own herbs and tomatoes in my two small greenhouses. I also try other plants but I need more bees so I am going to move some around this year. I also grown peppers and things like that.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I love all veggies, except bell peppers don't like me (they make me burp!). Mushrooms in everything, spinach, green beans, cabbage, broccoli, cauli (all colors!), zucchini and summer squash, carrots, salad ingredients.... maybe it would be better to say which ones AREN'T my favorites: parsnips are OK but I don't choose them often and the same with corn (when I was pregnant I couldn't stand the smell of corn in any form!).

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 my favaorite changes often too. Right now I'm on a greens kick. Just got off a cilantro kick. And my mid winter salad thing seems to be gearing up. Yum! Can't wait to start the veggie garden. Amy Credi in te stesso Believe in yourself **************Ideas to please picky eaters.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 It changes often, but right now I think my two favorites are spinach and sweet potatoes. I just tried Japanese sweet potatoes for the first time this year, and now I'm totally hooked. I like them baked and served with a spicy blueberry sauce-Yum!!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I love asparagus. It seems to grow wild in my dad's yard. It's really good in polenta, although I also like it over tagliatelle with baby artichokes. Excellent! Unfortunately there are many vegetables I don't like. I'm really trying to broaden my horizons but it's going slow. Especially since i'm here in Amman where my faves (broccoli, asparagus, artichoke, spinach) aren't readily available or are very expensive, and I can't stand eggplant, which is popular here. I did buy one today and I'm going to see if i like it in curry. If it's good i'll post the recipe! Zahra Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile. Try it now.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I love so many veggies but my favorite by far is asparagus, follwed by brussel sprouts. I have realized lately that my favorite way to make these and many other veggies is to simply drizzle with a little olive oil and salt and pepper and then bake /broil in the over ( or grill!) So simple but something I alway go back to as my favorite way to eat veggies! Try with some veggies if you haven't works with any!! ~Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Oven roasted veggies are really the way to go!! My husband now LOVES brussel sprouts and broccoli when I do them this way.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think all veggies compete pretty heavily for my palate, but lately I've been eating loads of raw turnips. I've started slicing them thin and sticking them in my veggie sandwiches for a little crunch, and they make great " dippers " for hummus and other tasty spreads! - Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Do mushrooms count as veggies? They're really fungi, but they would be my favorite, if they count. If not, then olives... no, olives are fruit. <sigh> Let's see... LOL... eggplant, sweet potato, and butternut squash probably share third place. Gee... I can't think of any veggies that I don't like except for okra, and I'll even eat that in Gumbo or something where you can't really taste it. LOL I'm not doing this well, am I? I know! Bean sprouts! Yes! And most beans, in fact. I love beans, even lima beans, which I think many people hate. Oh, and speaking of veggies that folks hate, I love Brussels sprouts, too... Okay, perhaps I should just stick with eggplant, huh? LOL Sorry. <giggle> Unless mushrooms count as veggies, in which case, they definitely come first, portabello and oyster mushrooms sharing first place, with shiitake taking a very close third.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 So are tomatoes but they serve as vegetables. LOL. I think my favorite vegetable, this week, is cauliflower. There is just so much you can do with it. It mascarades as pasta and meat; it goes in salads and vegetable trays or cooks up so yummy. Next week it may be asparagus again.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Cabbage and tomatoes for me. I have sweet and sour in my fridge year round. Also love Sauerkraut. TOMATOES are #1 though.
