Mooshy peas ftw
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 13:22 (six years ago) link
I can remember being served rhubarb and custard at an Auntie's house when I was a nipper, and feeling like it was a severe punishment trying to force that hot vomit down. And that my brother told me dogs piss on rhubarb at an early age has always stuck in my mind.

Roberto otm, the noble potato is the winner here
spinach probably second best

I have never had these 'mushy peas' y'all speak of. Fresh and firm peas are the bomb, though.

also gotta nominate the sweet potato, it speaks ill of this thread that it's taken two hours for somebody to get around to it

Just the smell of rhubarb is enough to send me in the other direction. It's a deep and primal loathing.

We might as well open a can of worms and get started on the pepper nominations.
Roasted red peppers are maybe king of all vegetables.

let me also throw butternut squash into the mix here
Being of 90% Mick 10% Spanish heritage - I'd definitely vote potato. But some obscure reason it is being discouraged by the threadstarters! And sweet potatoes are also divine, and quicker to cook! And Butternut squash with pasta or in soup is beautiful.

for clarity's sake, let me be clear that dog's piss is not a vegetable for the purposes of this nominations thread

Aye, we used to just pick a stick of rhubarb to eat. We'd have a little bit of sugar to dip it in, and it only stuck to the wet bits. (Normally just the end, but in the case of dog piss the whole thing.)

How can you make a nice spag bol without mushrooms? Or have have a good hangover fryup? They are very important.

Yes, I can see where mushrooms would be helpful as a post-hangover emetic.

pretty simple really, just skip the part where you might be tempted to add mushrooms to either

mushrooms are fantastic and have the advantage of diversity - spinach means exactly spinach, there's many kinds of potatoes but let's be real they all taste like potato, mushrooms are like wine - so many different flavors - an excellent vegetable, the mushroom
also super good sauteed in butter then reduced with red wine & stock

Does garlic count as a vegetable? Because y'all. Garlic.

garlic is aces but i dunno, strikes me more as an ingredient than a standalone foodstuff

You clearly have not indulged in the joy of scarfing an entire head of garlic and then watching everyone in your life maintain a wide berth from your reeking corpus for weeks afterward.

with such a loose definition of vegetables, this discussion is going nowhere.
1. onions - the Main Ingredient, the finest smell in cooking
2. sprouts - wildly underrated, roasted they are immense
carrots, parsnips, peas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, asparagus, aubergine, spinach all valid contenders. mushrooms are joyous but off topic
