Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

The only thing that makes brussel sprouts goddamn brussel sprouts is the work you have to put in to prepare them.  Otherwise, they are my favorite veggie.

Also, yeah, I eat everything that is vegan.  I used to not like things (olives, mushrooms) but as I age I find I really like them.  I still can't handle those mushrooms that are like 2 inches thick, but otherwise I am all good.

there are a few vegetables that i specifically like(corn, peas).  there are several vegetables that i do not actively seek out, but am willing to eat(asparagus, spinach to name a few).  other than that, no way.

i dont care for mushrooms.

also, i dont know if beans are included, but i dig the basic types(green, black, navy, pinto, kidney).

The only things I really don't like that don't have blood and organs and shit are mushrooms. Bad brussels sprouts are cooked wrong. That or they are too old. They get bitter.

We have a hell of a lot of lettuce in the garden.  I need to make big-ass salads for lunch.

I guess they aren't the only things that get bitter.

We planted our broc and lettuce this weekend. Well, and the herbs.

I like me a nice thick salad sandwich. Sweet tomato, crunchy lettuce, maybe a little onion. Plus cheese.
No carrot though. Never any carrot. Grated carrot is like eating damned hay and I ain't no hoss.

What is wrong with you people? Mushrooms are hell of rad. They are like tofu in their flavor absorbing property. I will eat a giant ass mushroom on a hamburger bun all done up right and call it dinner. What's for dinner? Fungus. You squares are whack.

Sauteed mushrooms are rad.  Other preps - meh.  I eat anything Vegan too, but my tastes are far more cosmopolitan.  As in, the Venn diagram of things I eat completely encloses Vegan food, but there's a hell of a lot of space left over.

OK, my friend requested I bring "something green" to go with the mahi-mahi he is making. What goes with mahi? Be advised that I hate green beans to hell.

When in doubt, a bag of salad mix. With mahi, maybe baby greens and a sesame ginger dressing? I suppose it depends how he's seasoning it.

You could also try some sugar snap peas; they're great raw or lightly sauteed with garlic and a splash of soy sauce.

Green beans are my fave. I don't like a lot of vegetables but I'm trying. I find it hilarious that most of you hate mushrooms in any form except sauteed...I prefer them raw. Y'all are freaks.

Broccoli, I cannot stand. Gross, horrible in both taste and texture. I can detect it easily even if it's pureed and mixed in with the lasagna or whatever. My mother-in-law could not remember this for the first ten years of our relationship and repeatedly served me vegetable lasagna with copious amounts of broccoli (and no side dish to fill up on). After seeing me go hungry several times, she has finally started to remember, and she gets a "real" lasagna also. (This is not a big deal; she buys pre-made lasagnas and pops them in the oven. Pedro didn't realize lasagna was a thing people made at home until after we got married.)
