A lot of people have asked me what my favorite fruits and veggies are since I turned vegetarian, mine are: seaweed, coconut, apples, heart of palms, red onions, peppers, lychees and blood oranges with asparagus. what are yours?
Its easier to say the veg I don't like. I wouldn't smack a dog in the ass with a bowl full of beets. Purple dirt. Not a fan of acorn or butternet or dumpling squash. They just taste off to me but I keep trying different recipes looking for 1 thats good (fuck beets)
Strawberries, bananas, broccoli, squash, oranges, spinach (when made right)
I like all the veggies now that I am cooking them for myself. I grew up in an overcooked veggie household. I grew up where the only way I ever had a carrot was giant woody carrots cut in big pieces cooked with greasy pot roast. The only way I ever had green beans was soggy and stringy. The only way I ever got to eat yellow squash or turnips was cooked down into a mushy pile of glop with onions so that it looked and had the same texture as dog vomit. Learning to cook, oven roast, lightly steam, stir fry, etc. all the veggies has made me like all the veggies. The only one I still have something of a tough time with is red beets, but I can hack them diced and tossed and oven roasted in olive oil.
Did your mother teach my mother to cook? I suffered the same experience. To this day I do not like vegetables.
I could snack on edamame all day. I love most veggies but have never gotten used to most of the greens they eat down south or okra. I love most fruit except bananas, they’re just pasty and slimy.
Love me some roasted broccoli & cauliflower
mango
persimmon
fresh figs
pomegranate
I've not tried fresh figs because the dried ones made me sick. Maybe they are better.
@confidentrealm the texture is similar to apricots
@chalupacabre Love Apricots
Persimmon!
Most fruits. Blueberries are starting to get more bland with each passing generation. Can't breed them for size I guess. Peaches...aw gawd.....YES! I could eat a peach for an hour.
Veggies... hrm... Peppers. Definitely peppers. All of them. Bell, banana, chili, jalapeno, habanero sriracha, and so on. And french fried taters.
