No. 22
Broccoli

-
My personal favourite
-
Yes, it's one of the most healthy things you can eat. It provides a good protection against bowel cancel and contains powerful antioxidants combatting other nasties generally. Most people overcook it. Place a few florets in boiling water for three minutes and serve with a knob of margarine.
-
I don't want my bowel cancelled thanks!
-
Whoops
-
Mind you, you did say it protects against that.
-
Good point
-
No. 71
Celeriac

-

Yum!
-
Ah, that's No. 4 Asparagus. Nice one Goldencup.
-
Mmm lovely asparagus
-
Not something you'll hear Robbie say, I'll wager. Do they have it in Liverpool?
-
No. 8 Parsnip
The sexiest of the vegetables

-
I love parsnips but broccoli tastes of trees.
-
What number are carrots?
-
No. 37 Carrot
A tasty vegetable if cooked correctly, but liable to come in some amusing shapes.

-
I make cream of celeriac soup. My favourite veggies are fennel and corn on the cob (although i know it is not really a vegetable).
I adore onions and cook them often. They are very good for your health too. Cauliflower is wonderful with a good cheese sauce.
-
What number are runner beans?
-
Hunter, what is your favourite Cabbage, I like Savoy the best, although I like shredded white cabbage in a salad.
-
What number are runner beans?
Runner beans are my favourite chock chick!
-
Chock Chick, Runner Beans are No. 101.
Yes Robbie, I like all the cabbages, especially red cabbage.
-
what number are sprouts?
-
No.1 Brussels Sprouts Almost universally overcooked or undercooked. Boiling for 6 minutes is about right with a little salt.

-
I have never tried brussels. I usualy have carrots and runner beans with my meals. Onions and mushrooms are also one of my favourites.
-
Onions and mushrooms are also one of my favourites.
Which one?!
-
Sorry...should have explained. I mix them together, fry them and serve.
-
Ah!
-
I only like those baby sprouts. big ones are vile.
-
Unfortunately mushrooms aren't vegetables and have no place in this thread.
-
They are number 1 on the edible fungus list.
-
....unless you bite your own toenails.
-
-
Marrow in cheese sauce. Good dark greens smothered in onion gravy. Pepper/onion and mushroom stirfry with rice. Roast potatoes. Fresh new season runner beans.
Who needs meat?
-
My girlfriend. Snigger
-
I don't eat much meat because I don't like the taste or the smell. I only eat chicken or beef but could easily live without it.
-
....unless you bite your own toenails.
I can manage that.
-
I'm with lou, I could live without meat and eat vey little of it.
-
Today I am having carrots, cauliflower with cheese sauce, roast parsnips,peas and beef.

Have you been for a sh*te?#

My favourite...

The Butternut Sqaush. I'm going to hazard a guess that it's Number 26. Particularly nice roasted with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and either rosemary or tarragon.
-
smurfboy which bit of that would i eat and which bit do I throw away?How long would you normaly roast it for? What does it taste similar to if anything? Thanks.
-
It's actually No.141, quite an obscure one. Lou it doesn't really taste like anything else except perhaps No. 142 Peanut Squash and cooked properly is delicious.

I was about to ask those questions lou. A lady I work with eats butternut squash a lot.
-
Cut out the soft seeded section and cook the firmer orange flesh. You can keep the skin on, but it takes longer to roast. I tend to peel it and roast it in big chunks for 20 - 25 mins.
The only thing I can really compare it to is swede; they are similar in texture, but squash doesn't have the somewhat bitter taste swede can have. It's sweeter. Imagine parsnip, swede and sweet potato combined in one vegetable!
-
Sounds lovely. Thanks for the help smurfy. I will buy one this weekend.
