    I agree with the iceberg lettuce.

    Personally, this Memorial Day WKND corn has cleaned me out like a charm. YUM, slathered it with butter, parmesan and chili powder.

    Corn just tastes good.

    But celery? What IS the point of celery?

    Celery is the vehicle to eat lots of blue cheese dressing and peanut butter. ;)

    Iceberg lettuce has relatively no nutritional value. Switch to Romaine, at least.

    I try to avoid foods that come out in the same condition they went in. Even tho I love corn, I don't eat it.

    For me, not a fan of brussel sprouts or lima beans.

    And what the heck is a rutabaga, anyways?

    Mmmmyum - Curried zucchini pancakes!!!!

    I'm sure this is great, but I think it might really be stretching the definition of 'pancake'.

    Celery raw is yukkers, but it's essential in many (most, 99% of my) soups!

    Have happily eaten a whole can of that 'salad crisp' corn for a midnight snack on hot summer nights. Iceberg lettuce is insulting on every level.

    Wasted vegetable? I don't know. I love mushrooms but always feel I've cheated myself a bit with them.

    Totally agree! But that's mostly because I hate celery. I also agree with corn, though I admit I still eat it on occasion.

    Iceberg lettuce - Ugh, don't get me started. I made a perfectly nice iceberg and spinach salad last week because I wanted to stretch my spinach further for lunches. A day after I made it, the iceberg lettuce was wilting. By the end of the week, I had to toss the whole thing. And for what? Seriously! The Romaine lettuce I bought this week is holding up much better and is better for you.

    Other than those, though, I don't really have any "useless" veggies. Even those I hate--like Brussels sprouts and peas--I concede still have nutritional value. I just wish they didn't, so I could justify not eating them!

    No. Eat a wide variety and enjoy your colors. Darker colors typically contain more nutrients. Try to include at least one serving of green leafy veggies per day.
