The beauty of corn on the cob is you can have all sorts of flavours. Garlic butter, chilli flakes, paprika..list is endless. But just salt and butter is tremendous as well.

Me too, but have to admit to not eating enough of it. Scientifically proven that frozen veg is just as good (if not better) for you than fresh stuff out the supermarket, so a bag of mixed veg in the freezer is a must. Favourites are corn on the cob, asparagus, red pepper and spinach - recently started eating pak choi too (a mild flavour). Another good way of getting your veg intake is making a simple slaw with finely chopped strips of pickled cabbage, red onion & carrot in a dressing of your choice with seasoning.

leginten Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Aubergine is the king. Sliced and fried in olive oil until nicely caramelised on both sides. Orgasmic. Edited December 3, 2021 by leginten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) I was raised in a home where whatever was put on the table was there to be eaten. There was no choice, the plate must be cleared including vegetables of which there were a considerable amount. My wife often when in company someone mentioned their husband had things he just would not eat, Esther would respond how she was lucky her husband had been raised to eat what was put in front of him, and still done so. It made meal content and preparation free of stress. Edited December 4, 2021 by Sharpie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I love broccoli cauliflower asparagus green beans spinach lettuce cabbage. sweetcorn I often have them with other foods but stopped eating tatties last year as they make you fat really and its a myth that they are needed on plate with meat and veg. I just have meat or chicken or fish with veg., However i do sometimes treat myself to chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made meal content and preparation free of stress. Likewise. Trouble was, the veg was all cooked in a pressure cooker, so boiled to within an inch of its life. Took me years to get over that and start enjoying veg again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Looking forward to my Xmas sprouts. Sliced, par-boiled, drained then added to a frying pan that's been crisping up some lardons of bacon. Add some thinly sliced garlic, cook for another minute or two then add a wee bit chicken stock and a decent knob of butter along with plenty black pepper. Cook for another couple of minutes. Serve.

I’ve been pushing sprouts on here for years, Cade. 👍 They are, without a doubt, my favourite vegetable. Good wee recipe there, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Xmas coleslaw is also a nice wee recipe for the dreaded Sprouts. Finely shred your raw sprouts and quickly marinade them for a few minutes in some vinegar, salt and sugar (any vinegar will do, your choice of flavours). Meanwhile, shred some carrots, kohlrabi and (optional) cooked beetroot. Drain off the vinegar from the sprouts, throw it all together with a few big spoonfuls of mayonnaise and a wee bit of cranberry sauce. Best on boxing day with leftover cold cuts of the Xmas roast.
