[Closed] If there was a Top Trumps of vegetables - what vegetable would win?

I'll go out on a limb here....
I give you......

The Parsnip

Dunno, maybe onion (its the basis of just about everything) or butternut squash (my personal fave on its own).

Errr, haven't you played top trumps? Surely it depends on which property you go by:

Cost
Nutritional value
Aesthetics
Flatulence side-effects
Alternative sexual uses

There's a few cabbages on here that could feature...

Asparagus

Potato, tho my fave is also butternut squash.

Broccoli. end of thread.

haribo

onion followed closely by the spud

Avocado.

spud or squash

bacon

phil - you need to ride your bike. 😉

Parsnips possibly, although one has been known to change one's mind. 🙄

Carrot

Plus a selection of dips

one day, when i grow up, i'm going to invent a vegetable that is more awesome than surfmatt!

its called the fullsundayroastable!

dear god i'm salivating right now thinking about it.

Has to be, da potato!!

😆

Rice.

Can be used as a starter, main course, side dish _and_ pudding! You can even make alcohol with it.

Obviously a clear winner.

Except that rice is a grain not a veggie 😉

The humble spud for me.

butternut squash

They taste OK but they are not worth the whole peeling effort. It is easier trying to get the skin off a cricket ball.

Parsnip.

End.

Parsnips are vile. It's how I imagine mud would taste.

Then dont peel them, just chop up and roast.
Oh, obviously scoop out the pulp.

[b]YOU ****ING WELL DO IF YOU ARE MAKING BABY FOOD OUT OF THE ****ERS.

SQUASH MAKE ME ANGRY![/b]

You can tell that I've had 3 years of doing battle with the buggers.

...and relax

{edit}

They are nice halved, roasted, stuffed with mascapone and sage then finished off under the grill with a parmesan topping. However, if you offer that to a baby you will end up wearing it.

agreed - butternut squash is nice cooked with the skin left on

for baby food try sweet potato instead. Much easier - and little ones love it

Potato...starter, main course, side dish _and_ pudding...tick, tick, tick and tick! Alcohol...tick!

Personally I would go with the Onion.

Broad beans. I can't get enough of them.

Purple sprouting broccoli. Steamed, with lashings of butter and some black pepper.

Beetroot. Slow baked and served warm with goats cheese.

Cauliflower. In cheese sauce.

Tough call between asparagus and broad beans. Broad beans probably take it because decent British asparagus is only available for about 6 weeks a year

If it was fruit the jack fruit would win hands down.

Vegetable wise, probably wild jungle taro.

Garlic.

Roasted.

Mmmmmmm...

Brussles sprouts, roasted, in oil and herbs... Mmmmmmmmmmm

Stop! A squash is a fruit! and I'm not confusing it with squash, like the drink mix stuff

Except that rice is a grain not a veggie

The humble spud for me.

Well, if we're going to get pedantic about it, potato is a tuber, not a vegetable* 😉

*please note, I really don't care.

Besides, Romanesco cauliflower beats everything

I agree second place goes to the spud

Asparagus makes your wee smell, so that's a big tick, but for me the parsnip gets it. King of Vegetables and directly related to the carrot cake (King of Cakes).

Romanesco cauliflower

I was tricked into eating this the other day, YUK!
It still tastes of cauliflower! Fricken awful stuff, no amount if cheese could ever hide the hideous flavour!

+1 for the humble parsnip, soup, crisps, roasted whatever it's ace.

PEAS!!!!!!

Mushy preferably.

I like peas.

Or Cauliflower. It makes you fart like no other veg (even baked beans) and can be turned into curry.
