What is the best vegetable?

[doppelganger]

which vegetable(s) do you think is the most delicious?
i kinda cheated because i put vegetables that are part of the same family (i.e. onion/leek)

it's in alphabetical order for your convenience!
i forgot some vegetables but hopefully i got the majority of what people like.

for me, it would be corn, cucumber, leek, lettuce, onion, potato, and tomato

[kazuma_ootaro28]

I like a lot of the vegetables that you listed. I also would say that fruits are better than vegetables.

[MADSTA]

Yam. Om nom nom nom.
Then lettuce, so versatile.

PS: Tomatoes and potatoes aren't veggies!

tomatoes can be considered a fruit or a vegetable depending on the way you look at it. i just put it in the list because i wanted to.

Yeah, this

[Poe-tryGirl]

I like tomatoes a lot.

[Indoor Living]

Potatoes, if they're vegetables, are my favorite. Fruits blow any vegetable out of the water though.

I'm pretty sure that's not how plant taxonomy works.

You're right, an apple is not a fruit, it is a tree because it's attached to a tree!!!

[PenThrive]

Carrots and asparagus!

Do we not eat grains? Corn grows on a stalk, like an apple grows on a tree, but the thing we eat, the ear, is a grain, not a fruit. If you disagree, you can take it up with wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize), that's where I'm getting this from.

[TotalCollapse]

I like broccoli with melted cheese.

yeah, a tomato does not change depending on how you look at it. it is a berry in the nightshade family, and thereby a fruit. although people do tend to treat it like a savory item and is therefore more associated with veggies.

also, avocado is a fruit as well, but it is hardly ever treated/prepared like a fruit.

sorry not to get nit-picky this is an awesome poll, i love all these

Although wikipedia is not a good source, you can look at the physiology section on that page, specifically the seed part. each corn is a individual fruit - botanically speaking. It has the endosperm and everything else a fruit has and will grow into a plant when planted into the ground.

Well they refer to each kernel as a grain in the very next sentence, so that's hardly conclusive. I did some research, and this seems to be a highly debatable topic. The best source I found (http://www.extension.org/faq/17275) was an article from the University of Illinois, who I trust on this topic because A) I go there, and B) they (or we?) have one of the best agriculture programs in the world. They claimed that corn could be considered all three: a grain, a vegetable, and a fruit. Whatever.

[SanePsychotic]

I love potatoes, but I also picked garlic. Honestly, I'm more of a veggie juice person since I'm very very unhealthy in regard to what I eat.

[AussieBoy]

POTATOES!!!
taste great by themselves
awesome as chips
brilliant mashed

also Peas are cool, and are awesome mashed on a hot dog with mash potato

and carrot rules when shredded

[AussieBoy]
