    I love most veg but yes Broccoli is probably my favourite although I hear it is in fact a flower. I like it lightly steamed with a sprinkle of salt and squeeze of lemon juice.
    Another favourite would be the various forms of summer squash which I like best roasted.

    Tomatoes except that technically they are a fruit

    Peas - Raw or in Pea soup which is the yummiest soup ever and can be eating hot or cold

    I can't really call these my "favorite" veggies because there are so many to like but these are often overlooked. They are all deep red/purple veggies and are quite nutritious.

    Red peppers -- in salads, pastas, roasted, made into sauce, etc.

    Red cabbage -- as coleslaw, sauteed sweet and sour, etc.

    Beets -- roasted, pickled, Harvard, grated raw in salad, etc.

    I love fresh asparagus, green and red peppers, cauliflower and broccoli, raw. These are just a couple of veggies I like. The asparagus, drizzle some olive oil, salt, pepper and parm cheese on it. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. The cauliflower and broccoli, dip it ranch

    I love most Veggies.

    It is hard to say what is my favorite. If pinned down, I'd have to say Broccoli. I'd also say Tomato, in all its forms, but since that is a fruit, not sure if it qualifies.

    But what do I most frequently eat? That must be romaine lettuce for me, since I love salads.

    Broccoli Rabe is another favorite of mine. And Zucchini.

    Damn, can I just say nearly everything except beets?

    I'll second rapini (broccoli rabe) but it's hard to find around here. I saute it in a bit of oil with some garlic, or if I'm lazy I boil for five min.

    I like collards because they're hardy and widely available. And if you buy them from the farmer's market, due to the shape it's easier to find hitchhikers than on broccoli/kale/chard.

    I recently discovered kohlrabi and really like it. Tastes like broccoli stems and it keeps for several days at least in my fridge (I hate buying stuff that goes off before I remember to cook it, can you tell?). Peel, chop and eat raw or steam like broccoli.

    Had to google pattypan just now...


    Me too! Hahaha!

    Pattypan squash is a species of summer squash notable for its small size, round and shallow shape, and scalloped edges, somewhat resembling a small toy top, or flying saucer. The name "pattypan" derives from "a pan for baking a patty."

    Love veggies. Favorites are spinach and mushrooms. I eat spinach every morning with mushrooms and two eggs scrambled together. I also like big spinach salads for dinner with either sauteed chicken or hot dogs. I love to make an easy "stir fry" with Italian sausage, mushrooms and spinach sauteed in butter and hot sauce. I also put mushrooms into marinara sauce over zucchini noodles and I buy portobello mushroom caps and stuff them with a variety of things.

    Wow, you sound like a great cook!

    I like most vegetables, but my top favorites are mesclun greens (salads), spinach (salads, sauteed with garlic, creamed, in various casseroles), Swiss chard (I usually just steam it and either eat it plain or put it in a frittata or a pasta dish), and squash (all kinds, either roasted, sauteed, or steamed).

    I generally hate Brussels sprouts, but they are delicious roasted with bacon.

    My favorite way to have veggies is raw with some hummus or dip made with fat free sour cream and a ranch packet from Hidden Valley! I love cucumbers, carrots, celery.

    There are very few vegetables I do not like. I hate artichokes, and not really keen on salad stuffs, but I love broccoli, spinach(especially creamed), asparagus, snow peas, babycorn, mushrooms and butternut squash. I love roast parsnips and brussels sprouts too, lol. I had brussels sprouts tonight actually. I usually have a Ib of vegetables a day.
