Thursday Thirteen 116: Veggies I Actually Like

I admit it, I am particularly fussy when it comes to which vegetables I will eat. There are some I can't eat raw, such as tomatoes, and some I plain do not like. Here are thirteen that might actually make it onto my plate:

* Spinach
* Broccoli
* Brussels Sprouts
* Carrots
* Corn (on or off the cob)
* Green Beans
* Green Peas
* Potatoes (Is there a more versatile food??)
* Sweet potatoes
* Iceberg lettuce (not so fond of other varieties)
* Zucchini (Soup or fried...yum!)
* Pumpkin (preferably in a pie)
* Pickles (I can't eat raw cucumbers, but love midget dill pickles, especially Milwaukee's Midget Dills)

    I love Brussels sprouts! We even grew them back when we had space for a small garden. I wish I had a patio/balcony so I could do some container gardening - Brussels sprouts and broc do well in those!

    My hat is off to you! I could not tell you 13 vegetables I like. I'd manage a maximum of about six. There's only one on your list that I'll ever eat.

    The only things on the list I like or can tolerate, are carrots (cold only), potatoes, and pumpkin (but only pie). I'm a very picky eater, though, lol.

    The only vegie on your list that tend to shy away from is zucchini. My list would also include the two you don't like tomatoes and cucumbers. Iceberg lettuce is okay, but I prefer the greener, leafer lettuce. The only vegie I don't want to see on my plate is okra, but I'll even eat that in soup (-:

    I'm a big fan of vegetables too, but I'd replace your zucchini with spinach. Happy TT!

    Brussel sprouts over fresh tomatoes?? What the crap is that? LOL

    I love fresh tomatoes. Especially on a sandwich or a biscuit. Mmmmm...It's my favorite part of summer.

    Yummy list. Carrots are ok as long as they're not cooked.

    Nicholas - Trust me, I had difficulty coming up with thirteen I do like - hence the inclussion of pickles.

    Maya - No, no dear... We are not "picky," merely "particular." ;)

    Stephanie - Oh, but zucchini and brussel sprouts are so good when prepared just right. Really!

    Shelley - Hehe...not a member of the Particular Eaters Club, eh? *g*

    Lori - But see, it's not only that I don't like raw tomatoes and cukes, it's that I can't eat them without getting sores in my mouth. I can, however, eat tomato products, such as soup, ketchup and spaghetti sauce - but they aren't as acidic as the raw product.

    Harriet - Hehe...go for it! I freely admit I got the idea from someone else's recent fruit list, which I may do next week. I like far more fruits than veggies.

    Brenda - But they're both on my list! I actually had spinach earlier this week, and am waiting for zucchini to be in season - they're a bit late this year due to our horrible summer weather.

    Colleen - I am obviously the exact opposite; I've met far too many I don't like. ;)

    Jana - LOL...I'll take Brussels sprouts over tomoatoes any day. You can buy whole stalks of them at the Farmer's Market. YUM!

    Hazel - I can eat Brussels sprouts any time, though I do prefer pumpkin either in pie or muffins. Our supermarket makes these to-do-for muffins in the fall...so moist you start to salivate before the first bite.

    Christina - What I said to Colleen. LOL

    Jill - I like raw carrots okay, but love them glazed or cooked up with a nice pot roast. Mmm...anyone else getting hungry?

    Paige - Yeah, I know...I love the three veggies most people (especially kids) hate: Broccoli, spinach and Brussels sprouts. LOL

    Inez - Great Minds Think Alike! :)

    I love most vegetables. I'm allergic to snow peas, which I love, and iceberg lettuce gives me indigestion, but other lettuce, oddly, is fine. I don't like Brussels sprouts.
    Happy T13

    I like all of those. I don't really not like any vegetables. The only one I can really say I don't like (which isn't on your list is beets)

    Happy TT!

    My daughter thinks there is no veggie that her mom (me) doesn't like. The truth is I do love veggies but Brussel sprouts are on my short list of those that I can do without.

    Happy TT.

    Jamie - I've never known anyone allergic to peas before. Interesting!

    Storyteller & Janice - Brussels sprouts seem to be the top veggie on my list that people dislike.

    Sue - I am sooo with you on beets. YUCK!

    AD - LOL...thank you! *g*
