BTW, laughing here about how family and friends don't leave comments. That's completely true for me too.
Looks like I better get browsing and shopping and cooking!
My least favorite vegetable is bittermelon. ICK!
I have never tried Miso but I would like to. I don't know if it is considered a vegetable but it is on the list and I intend to buy some next grocery day.
The only thing that gets in the way of eating more vegetables is expense and availability. I live in NL and some veggies are just not available here and some are really expensive. I would love to have a garden to grow my own.
My least favorite – Corn
A vegetable I have never tried – Chayote
What prevents me from eating more vegetables – My husband who is a creature of habit and wants meat, corn and peas—every night. Yuck!

I've already picked a sweet potato recipe. Mom and I are going to cook it next weekend.

Hard to pick a favorite. Broccoli, I guess.
Least favorite is mentioned by other bloggers-parsnips.
I have never eaten rutabagas, but I just bought some new starts, so this summer we will have our own to try.
A few months ago we were introduced to pablano peppers stuffed with cheese and baked-delicious.
Choosing a favorite vegetable is tough. A while ago, I would have said butternut squash, but I've made so many roasted butternut squash soups lately that I'm getting a little bit tired of it, so I think I'll go with sugar snap peas.
Least favorite: Endive, I think.
One I'd like to try: Tomatillos. They had them at my local farmer's market last summer, but I didn't end up buying any because I wasn't sure what to do with them. Maybe I'll try some this year -- it's encouraging to see that you like them. Do you think they'd be okay served raw in salad?
What gets in the way of serving veggies: We eat lots of vegetables, but sometimes I feel inhibited from trying new ones. Mostly it's because certain specific vegetables seem difficult to deal with, either because they're very dirty, or because they're hard and have tough peels. One vegetable that I've often thought of trying but always been a little bit frightened by is celeriac. It looks like it's covered in armor!
Favorite: Corn - I could eat huge amounts! Also very fond of fresh or frozen fava beans, and potatoes!
Least favorite: Anything bitter, like chicory. Also I really don't like aubergine too much. Or beans, in general. I should try to experiment more with them.
Like to try: Jicama! I've never seen it, either. And I'd have no idea what to do with it.
Gets in the way of veggies - I honestly am not sure. Sometimes, the price, absolutely. Also, that so much of the exciting stuff is imported, and I try to think about buying locally. (Which means less choice.) And definitely lack of inspiration to try new things - which is why food blogs and cook books are so great :)
A new cookbook for Jim would be great!

I do not like Bitter melons in any shape or form but I do cook that for my hubby who loves it!
Never heard of some veggies here but love to try anything once.I would love to try Finocchio, a funny name for a veg ,no idea how it looks or tastes!!!
Great info about these Alanna,thanks:)
Your favorite vegetable.
My favourite vegetable just has to be the potato. A vegetable i have never tried would be kale leaves and artichokes. Just read so many recipes for these two vegetables but am not sure if i can get them here in India.
the hardest thing about getting vegetarian food on the table is when cooking them Indian style. I have always found cooking indian food to be to rigid with the spices thrown in the pot in an exact order and at an exact time.
I like to cook vegetables, but I have trouble with salads. I get bored and have trouble figuring out new combinations that taste good without having too much dressing or nuts or cheese.
Maybe you don't like Lima beans? There are no recipes for them.
least favorite vegetable -- Cucumber
Never tried but want to -- broccoli rabe
Why don't eat more veggies? --
1. lack of skill/knowledge/understanding on what to do - for example what on earth is the easiest way to peel beets????
2. inconsistent results - i have had fabulous sweet roasted beets but the last few times i tried them they were no good - too discouraged to try again
