Every one plus tomatoes, cucumber’ beetroot and celery
I like tomatoes, cucumber and celery, too. I try to get/use cucumber and tomatoes in some of my salads when it's possible. One neighbor grows his own cucumbers and he gives me some now and then from his garden. 
I used to grow cucumbers and tomatoes but I have a local farm shop who sell really tasty veg so I tend to buy from them. A basic salad for me is leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot, celery and onion with a simple vinaigrette dressing. I eat it with a garlic flatbread baked in the oven. Yummy 😻
That sounds really wonderful! My Grandfather use to grow his own tomatoes years ago in his backyard. Every time I went to see him, we would check on the tomatoes on each visit and we would help bring them to the kitchen for him and Grandma to use.
Technically, any plant food with seeds inside is a fruit, even though we think of them as vegetables - e.g. tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini / courgettes, peppers, squash, eggplant / aubergine.
That’s exactly right! Some vegetables are considered fruits. Thank you for the great list.😀👍🌈🍅
Happy New Year!😀👍🌈🎆🎊🎈
kale, rapini, asparagus, broccolini, fennel, artichoke...there are a lot more!
I like asparagus, too. I eat asparagus with some fish dinners now and then.
Yes! Yummy! I just made hollandaise sauce for some, lightly blanched. And I think I forgot brussel sprouts (roasted w olive oil) and arugula (in salad w lemon mustard dressing :o)
That sounds really good! I will have to see if we have some Brussel Sprouts here and add them to a big salad some time or eat them on the side with a different meal in the next few weeks.
None of them. Not a good response but true
It's okay. It's good to be honest. Not everyone is going to like all the same types of food/drinks.
Have you tried creative cooking? Number one: sauteing in PLENTY of butter?
Haven't had a chance to do that, yet with the butter, but there's other meals/foods I've tried to do and have my Nephew and Niece help with once a week.
Broccoli, cauli and mushrooms appear on our plates weekly. Other ones that feature heavily would be: onions, peppers, green beans.
Same here, Cooper27 . Some of my favorite ones are green beans and cauliflower ( if I can get it) along with the above list in the poll. I picked everything. I use mushrooms for some salads and a few other meals.
We eat a lot behind this, but these are the ones that appear every week
I get a veg box delivered, it lets me try new things regularly too.
Do you get the choice of what's in the box, or do they surprise you each time they give you something? Sometimes, when you ask for a certain item at a store, they don't give it to you even if it's on a list of items you wanted when waiting for pick up.
It's a surprise each time (well, you get a list each week). Sometimes it's hard - last week I got 2 celeriac, and I really hate celeriac 
Awe! Have you tried celery with peanut butter spread down the middle?
It's celeriac, so more like a turnip
Thank you for letting me know that. I sometimes eat turnips, but not too much.
And many more , never understood people not eating their greens !
i also enjoy fennel chicory, celeriac and avocado
That's great! Do you use avocado in salads or on the side? I do both now and then.
What about carrots and onions? They are the ones I use most often.
Those are great choices, too to have. I have them in my salad now and then.
But the poll was on low carb vegetables. Carrotts and onions aren’t classed as low carb. I love them too but don’t eat too much of them.
Every now and then is okay.
Great poll Leah, I like them all but my top 3 are broccoli cauliflower and mushrooms.It’s nice to be reminded of low carb veg too. 👍😊
Thank you for saying that about the poll, Hidden . I really appreciate it very much.
Yes, there's a lot of low carb. vegetables. I love eating avocadoes in salad and on the side-- to name one. I also like cauliflower and broccoli the most.
avocado is great mixed with a little mayonnaise as a dip also finely grate with magimix sweetheart cabbage with grated raw courgette and raw sprouts with lemon and olive oil and pumkin seeds great salad plus green grapes fresh herbs if i have them too
This sounds really great! Thank you for the idea. Sounds yummy.😀👍🌈
Plus onions, garlic, tomatoes, carrots, parsnips and beetroot.
Do you eat cherry tomatoes or regular sized ones? A cherry tomato has one carb./tomato.
Cherry, always. Is that wrong? Sprouts as well of course.
No, it’s okay to have Cherry tomatoes. They’re one of my favorite things to eat on my salad when I can get them.😀👍🌈
I eat a lot of cucumber and tomatoes. Cabbage isn't on my menu because my husband had cancer and radiotherapy has left him with a bowel problem which cabbage aggravates.
It's good to hear that you have cucumbers and tomatoes. Do you mix them together to make cucumber tomato salad? That's one of my favorite salads to have if I can't get salad on its own.
I just slice them up onto a plate with mackerel. That is lunch most days, home made soup otherwise with carrots, swede, parsnip, celery and leeks whatever is lurking in the fridge.
That all sounds really good! We are going to do homemade soup with my Nephew and Niece for lunch today. If I have a chance, I will try to take a picture of it and post it.
I live on veggies, and chocolate of course lol 😄😁😜
Which vegetables do you like the most?
Sprouts carrots cauliflower in fact most veggies, I don't eat meat any more since I had my gallbladder out.
That's a great list of vegetables you eat! Do you add them to soup?
Oh yes I make soup, put some lentils in to thicken the vegetables and a stock cube lovely jubly 😊
That sounds good! I like lentils for some of my soups.
Oh, I see. It was still good fun.
The polls are always fun to create and participate in. Thank you for letting us know.
A healthy lifestyle is about maximising micronutrient content for the minimum macronutrient. This can be summed brought to reality with Gbomb acronym, where the M stands for mushrooms. Ensuring mushrooms are part of your daily diet is one aspect of maximising that micronutrient intake. Leave them in the sunshine for 30 mins to even add some Vitamin D!
Thank you for the great information about mushrooms. I have mushrooms in some quiches and a few other meals and side dishes each night.😀👍🌈🍄
Where are the onions?What is wrong with high carb veggies as long as the sugar is outweighed by the fibre?
When the polls are created, there’s only 8 slots allowed. If there’s a choice you don’t see, everyone can add them to the Comments section for the answers/votes.😀👍🌈
I ticked all of them , plus tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, fine green beans, avocado, asparagus when it’s in season
Same here with the choices! I’m not picky with the vegetables.😀👍🌈
Red cabbage for me Leah as it's not high fodmap 😊👍
Sounds great to me!😀👍🌈
Have a Happy New Year ahead!😀👍🌈🎊🎆🎈
I love it, can't leave it alone.
A very happy New Year to you as well.🎉🎉🌈🌈
Will watch the ball drop and read until the new year comes tonight after dinner. Will see what happens soon!
Thank you for the new year’s wishes. Hope you’re having fun!😀👍🌈🎈🎆🎊
Enjoy watching it Leah.
We are sat watching TV nice and quiet and just how we like it.
Here's to 2021 🎉🌈😊👍
The only one I barely ever eat is celery, I really don't like the taste of it.
Have you tried celery with peanut butter together?😀👍🌈
I must admit I have not, peanuts are banned in our house as my daughter is highly allergic to them. I did like peanut butter back in the day, but nothing could override the taste of celery for me I'm sure!
How about almond butter or another type of butter for the celery‘a middle?
love almond butter, I suppose I could try it with the celery
That’s great to hear! Please let me know what you think after you have tried it.😀👍🌈
I love my vegetables except Kale, it's the texture. Great survey to promote healthy eating.
Thank you for saying that about the poll! I appreciate that very much. Both Hidden and I enjoy creating and posting polls for everyone.
I eat Flat Mushrooms every week made into a tasty soup, & knowing they are good for me,. I also eat cooked celery & have it as soup, as I’m sure I’ve read it’s good for inflammation. I love the taste and occasionally have it finely sliced in a winter salad. I like Iceberg lettuce but don’t eat it as much as I used to.
This sounds really good. Celery in soup sounds great and I sometimes have it in a soup now and then.
I eat tomatoes more than any other vegetable (or should that be fruit?!?) but I adore cauliflower particularly when it’s roasted in the oven. Nigella Lawson has a spectacular spiced cauliflower, tomato and chickpeas recipe on You Tube. I just use a lot less oil than she recommends ie one teaspoon rather than a tablespoon.
This sounds good! Thank you for the information.
All of them.
That's fantastic to hear. Which are your favorites?
Sorry for late reply, probably not relevant now.....but anyway, I suppose broccoli, mushrooms and spinach are staples, but really as I said, they all are welcomed here, and lots more beside, bless them.
Vegetables lend themselves so well to either a main meal or a side.
Celery, for example, is lovely chopped small and sprinkled on top of any dish really, just adds crunch.
I liked the survey, which as others have commented, promotes healthy eating; very important, especially in these worrying days.
Actually, all the ones you have mentioned, can be eaten either raw or cooked (except iceberg of course).
Take care,
pigeon.
I love my vegetables. I like the survey. A great way to encourage healthy eating.
Thank you for saying that! There are lots of different types of vegetables that I like to have at any meal, too.
