Boiled cabbage for me and only a very small portion, what about yourself @SWUSA

To be honest I am not a great veggie eater at all, I could never become a vegetarian and cut out meat/fish

I used to be a vegetarian for about 12 years, in my 20's and early 30's. I also bicycled everywhere then. Did not own a car. I gave it up due to cravings when pregnant. I could never eat the high protein diet for long due to Gouty arthritis. I like cabbage rolls, sauerkraut, Cole slaw, sauteed cabbage, in egg rolls and boiled. It is kind of my go to because I like it and it has lots of fiber and goes with a lot of other dishes. (and adds few carbohydrates to the dish)

I like nearly all veg and am partial to mashed swede and carrots although I know swede's on the "naughty" list so I don't have it very often these days. I also like cauliflower cheese but hubby has an aversion to cheese so I don't get that very often.

And right now I have a craving for creamy mashed potato . .

Celeriac for me was delicious but caused both hubby (he has a cast iron stomach) and me such pains in our digestion we've never had it again since.

Courgette (fried in butter with soft eggs on top).

Broccoli (can't eat meat so a good source of iron).

Bnut squash (very high in vit A so try to limit to 100g every other day).

Roast parsnips (because I like them)

Swede and carrots together with pepper.. especially good if having with homemade curry with lashings of tumeric.

Cauliflower cheese for a change!

Spinach in smoothies only for my iron.

Not allowed to eat other veg as it blocks my stomach...

 

[mist]

Not keen on parsnips..

Oh, and those water chestnut things..yuk!

Have you tried cauliflower boiled and prepared like mashed potatoes? With butter, cream and salt and pepper?

I love artichokes! Had some today in a salad.

This is a mystery vegetable-can anyone identify it?

Mystery vegetable: Okay, long enough, it's in the cabbage family we call them collards or collard greens. You boil them with a little fatty bacon and enough water to cover them until they are soft. There are small carrots planted between the collards. @ellagy, @Cumberland, @debrasue & insensitive.

Aubergine Parmigiana (probably spelled wrong) is my absolute fave but love most veggies. Prefer the veg to the protein when it comes to a big roast dinner. Steamed broccoli and cauli and ribbons of carrot with green beans and peas and a good gravy and you can keep the roast. That was how I felt when I ate meat, that's I feel now I don't...

Maybe I will give rutabaga another try... nah I do not even like thinking about eating it

That reminds me of a restaurant I went to near Paris. Nothing fancy; it was in a shopping centre. I had a plated salad which was a plate filled with beautifully prepared and arranged salad veg. Very thinly sliced cucumbers, beetroot (nor picked), radishes and toms. Julienne carrots and celeriac. Raw mushrooms. Parboiled French beans. A light vinaigrette dressing. Just delicious.

What would your ideal salad contain? Which, if any dressing also?
