rank the veg
Simple Wikipedia list of veg
Complicated Wikipedia list of veg
arbitrary house rules:
- tomato is permitted (it is on both lists)
- mushroom is not permitted (it only made one list)
1. Artichoke
2. Water Chestnut
3. Asparagus
4. Brussels Sprouts
5. Maize/Corn
6. Butternut Squash
7. Lima Beans
8. Tomato
9. Broccoli
10. Avocado
1) Peas (snow or sugar snap are great snacks)
2) Iceberg letuuce
3) celery
4) carrots
5) corn
6) green beans
7) parsley
8) did i mention green beans?
9) that's it i think
10) hate broccoli and cauliflower (SP?) and cabbage and dermaters (except as base) and brussels sprouts and artichokes and asparagus and...
11) are potatoes a veg?
Potatoes count, they are #11 on my list
1 tomato
2 asparagus
3 broccoli
4 zucchini
5 edamame
6 carrots
7 green beans
8 red bell peppers (raw)
9 sweet potatoes
10 some sort of salad lettuce, like green lettuce or baby spinach or mixed baby spring green leafs. Not iceberg.
I dunno, there are so many I like. It was hard to do this one. Tomato had to go first because there is so much you can do with it.
Is this like ranking in order of what we like or eat? If so this is pretty much the top 10 although we eat more then that. I buy a lot of the vegetables that the checkers at the market have to look up as they don't know the codes or they ask me what they are.
1. tomatoes
2. avocado
3. Onions (mostly sweet yellow ones but also green onion and leeks)
4. Spinach
5. Kale
6. Beets (We prefer yellow beets but also eat the greens if they are nice)
7. Broccoli
8. Fresh herbs
9. legumes, most kinds.
10. corn but mostly in the summer when it is fresh.
I would like to take this opportunity to point out that unlike the many vegetable vs. fruit arguments (tomato, avocado, bell pepper, etc.,) corn is neither of these, it is a grain. That being said...
1.) Avocado
2.) Tomato
3.) Onion
4.) Peas
5.) Bell peppers
6.) Zucchini
7.) Asparagus
8.) Various salad greens
9.) Carrots (raw only, though)
10.) Baby Bok Choy
Not really in order, as it depends on the meal and how I am cooking them.
But the ones which occurred first are no doubt the ones I eat most often.
- Peas. ALL, sugarsnap, mange-tout, petit pois etc
- Potatoes, inc sweet.
- Carrots
- Onions. ALL, scallions, white/ red/ pink onions, shallots etc
- Tomatoes. But not raw. Almost never raw.
- Leeks. Probably part of the onion family.
- Peppers. Red a favourite.
- Most cabbage
- Beans. ALL, from green and runner to haricot and borlotti.
I have no doubt some of that is not classified as veg, but it's in the spirit of the thing.
Oh yes, I cheated horribly horribly by hiding vast swathes of veg under one little word. What can I say? I'm not a fruit or nut person (just a fruit and nutcase) so this is a list I could turn up way past eleven.
Polite request.
No cheese list please.
I work with it all day. I am discovering cheeses I love which I didn't even know existed before.
My cheese list would rival Disaster Area's speakers.
1. Taters, precious
2. Green Beans
3. Green Peas
4. Corn
5. Bell Peppers
6. Lima Beans
7. Onions
8. Terri Schiavo
9. Stephen Hawking
10. Joe Biden
Stephen Hawking just called.
He's crying over his Presidential Medal of Freedom.
I think one thing is for sure, we eat more of a variety then some recent generations. Just tonight, NPR (our public broadcasting for those over the pond or in Oz) had a clip on the rise of kale on restaurant menus. I for one cook much more with kale because it is available, fresh and in many varieties. Another thing that increases seasonal variety is the fact that we get so much from other areas or countries when certain things are out of season.
When I was a lad, my British grandparents routinely helped with meals and even though I was living on Long Island, NY I got more then my share of peas and carrots or cauliflower in a cheese sauce. Now a days I am more to do a stir fry with the carrots and peas or a curried cauliflower or I just steam the cauliflower and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on it. Times change as do taste buds.
Maybe we need a Top 20 or 30 for ranking.
Peas. ALL, sugarsnap, mange-tout, petit pois etc
You left out Mushy peas!
1. Asparagus
2. Kale (especially baby kale)
3. Baby spinach
4. Baby bok choy
5. Broccoli
6. Tomatoes, all kinds, from the garden
7. Peas - sugar snap and petit, from the garden
8. Green beans from the garden
9. Sweet onions
10. Carrots
11. Chard, beets, parsnips, leeks, avocado, squash, potatoes (all kinds), everything except okra. Okra is of the devil.
You left out Mushy peas!
That's because they aren't a vegetable.
They aren't even a food.
They only exist so that Northerners can pretend they are the healthy part of their deep-fried lifestyle.
So there.
Ditto marrowfat peas.
Nelson, despite your slighly odd taste in vegetables, you seem okay.
Welcome.
hiya nelson1111!
welcome to the cellar. :waves:
With all due respect (Hi Nelson) Iceberg is an abomination and tastes of nothing. it's bad for lizards and guinea pigs too.
Can we count mushrooms as veg?
1) Sparrow guts
2) Kale
3) Celery
p.s. Tomato is a fruit, botanically speaking, but apparently it's now legally a veg in the US. Who knew?
I like iceberg in a sandwich. It adds crunch and all the flavour comes from the other ingredients.
And it's 500 miles away from the sad, limp leaves I grew up calling lettuce... (and then 500 more.)
Why is it called iceberg anyway? Doesn't grow on one. ... doesn't look like one... Is it because it tastes like ice?
Here's my list.
1. Avocado
2. Asparagus ... but only if it's cooked right
3. Ripe tomato. ... esp. on wonder bread with mayo, salt, pepper. Yum.
4. Corn. I know it's a grain f u
5. Broccoli. Again depending on preparation
6. Steven Hawking
7. Portabella mushroom
8. peas
9. Potatoes
10. Edamame
I was going to lead with Hawking, thank you for saving me, from me.
You can count on me buddy
Gravdigr already went there.
