Favorite fruit & vegetable
Permalink  

Hey!


The new food pyramid says we're supposed to eat like 13 servings of fruit and vegetables a day now or something like that (don't quote me on that number what do I know?!)


So- do you have a favorite fruit or vegetable?? Hopefully now that summer is here the prices will start to drop a bit more!?!?!?!


I really enjoy grilled asparagus- BUT- the store I normally go to had it for $4.69 a freaking pound! Another store had it for only $2.99 a pound! That's still a bit much, but grilled asparagus is great! top it of with a little parmasan cheese and you've got BAM!!!!


I hate peas!!!


As for fruit, I like all sorts- but the nectarine I wanted to eat tonight (was on sale) was a bit mushy! dissapointing! Red seedless grapes on sale last week were PHENOMENAL!


But I'd say my all time favorite would be the good old fashioned orange!


Not a big fan of apples, can't stand the skin getting stuck in my teeth. Do not like grapefruit; absolutely detest pears!

I like just about any type of fruit, but I don't care for melons that much.  I LOVE fresh black cherries!!!!!


I think my favorite veggie would have to be fresh raw spinach, but I can't stand it cooked unless it's in something (like on a pizza).  I like just about any fresh raw veggie except tomatoes (I know, it's a fruit...), it's when you cook or can them I get picky.  Cooked, you can't beat corn on the cob, canned, I prefer peas.

Let's see fruit would be Liberace and Vegetable would be Karen Ann Quinlan. I know, I'm bad.
I like watermelon, grapes bananas and apples. I don't care much for peaches. Favorite veggie would be carrots. But on the grill tomatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms (fungi) and asparagus. Mmmmm that's good eats. Corn on the cob at the state fair is the best. Roasted on the cob and dipped in butter add salt and pepper and leave me alone for a few minutes. Peas , bocolli and cauliflower too.

I'm with MZ on the fruit, Black or Queen Ann cherries, also strawberries.  Put chocolate on them and you are one step away from heaven.


For veggies I go with tomatos (which is a fruit), spinich, or green beans if my wife makes them.  I, too, have a hard time with peas.


And for clarification, corn is not a vegetable or a fruit, it's a grain.


I know, I know - shut up Wefter!

Wef, I agree on the strawberries.  My husband loves my strawberry cheesecake, ut I personally prefer my strawberry shortcake.  Warm up the strawberries a little bit, and it's heaven!

I like pineapple, watermelon, cucumber...salad, I decided last night after adding raw ramen to the salad that that's my specialty salads.  So tell Dave I can make a mean salad - he was asking about my cooking skills one day.

Oh, I LOVE straight pineapple juice on ice!  And I love specialty salads, especially when they have something crunchy on them.  I think we know what Star's bringing to the FFR cookout!


Oh, and MusicJunkie, you can bring the potato salad.


I am so going to get slapped for that...

The tropical fruits are my favorite, also because I am allergic to all melons, apples, citrus, so I have also learned to like veggies.  My favorite drink is Beet, Carrot,Parsley, celery with good ole Mr. Juiceman.

Actually, CP, that does sound good.  Add a drop of hot sauce and it could really get your engine reving.  I also like V-8 Juice, so it's not too big a jump.


Bummer on those allergies, but it is making you eat healthy!

you can't beat a nice sour tangelo, I also love tomatoes of any kind. Veggies are my weak point I love love taters and onions and corn, anything else I pretty much force myself to eat.

I love cucumbers, zucchini, and corn on the cob


I love strawberries & you can go ahead and get that chocolate for them! Yum!


I am a big orange eater too! I enjoy a good watermelon with a little salt added to them. And once in awhile I like to get yellow watermelon.


I like apple stuff but don't really care for eating just apples. I don't like onions and peppers unless they are fully cooked with something like in fajitas.
