    For being so versatile carrots. For flavour, probably asparagus.

    You're not on your own with parsnips, but I do use them if making stews etc, can't taste them as much once it's all together. Celery and celeriac however I can't even stand the smell of. YUCK!!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    i'm not a fan either - it's one vegetable that tasted nothing like I'd imagined.
    Roasted parsnips look nice, and every now and again I fall for it and end up looking like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

    Absolutely has to be eaten just as it is. No salt, no butter, nothing. Just lightly steamed. Perfect!

    I love brussels but I found out the other day that they are bad for my underactive thyroid so i'm upset about that.

    there are very few things in life that cant be improved by adding a knob of butter !!
    toasted pinenuts also work pretty well!

    My favourite would be a cob of corn, butter, salt & pepper. :drool:

    Agree with Gingham Ribbon - sprouts - best lightly steamed ...

    Oooh, corn on the cob. My toddler will choose one of them over a biscuit! We have them plain or with salt and butter.
