What are some vegetables that don't taste terrible or have an awful texture?

[Anonymous No.4799372]

Pizza.

[Anonymous No.4799378]

I'm curious what vegetables you say have bad taste/texture.

[Anonymous No.4799383]

In my opinion:
Broccoli
Collard greens with garlic
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Potatoes
Corn
Peas
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Squash
Cucumber and hot sauce
Bok choy
Kale
Brussel sprouts
Spinach with lemon and garlic
Grilled eggplant
Green beans
Onions
Bell pepper

I enjoy vegetables quite a bit. However some of them are bland on their own, I like to add stuff like onions, garlic, chiles, tomato sauce to them.

>>4799383
you named all popular veggies

[Anonymous No.4799387]

>>4799372
Oh you.

>>4799378
Off the top of my head:
Lettuce, celery, rocket, (uncooked) carrots, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, leeks, sprouts.

They're all either too mushy/wet, or the taste is too strong. If I add any salad to a sandwich, the crunchiness or overbearing taste ruins that sandwich.

But there must be vegetables out there for me. Cress is okay. Potatoes are fine (do they count?). I can't think of any others I've really eaten.

Thanks for the list. I think I just need to try more things, or retry things to see if I can get used to eating them.

How is spinach? I don't think I've ever eaten it in my life. Though I've eaten spinach pasta, which wasn't so bad.

onion
snow peas
carrot
brussels sprouts
broccoli
peppers/chilis/chiles
mushrooms (not vegetables, but close enough)
potatoes/sweet potatoes
big leafy cabbage
lotus root

my favorites, though I'll eat pretty much anything

[Anonymous No.4799402]

>>4799386
Okay

>>4799387
Potatoes are a root vegetable, so they count.
What vegetables DO you like?

[Anonymous No.4799408]

>>4799392
Depends on how it's prepared. Uncooked, it's like a leafy, less crunchy version of lettuce. It has more of an earthy taste as well. When steamed or sauteed it's almost slimy and has a more poignant earthiness to it.

[Anonymous No.4799411]

>>4799395
Thanks. How are (bell) peppers? Can someone describe their texture/taste in their own words?

>>4799402
Pretty much just those two. I've had milder rocket that was okay. Broccoli isn't completely terrible.

For the record, I wasn't raised on junk food or anything, I just haven't been exposed to a lot of vegetables. Now that I'm older I think it's time to start eating a little healthier, but all these new foods with their strange tastes and weird textures are hard to get used to.

Thanks for helping, everyone!

I think you'd enjoy cauliflower, peas, and steamed carrots.

Who has problems like this with vegetables.

Honest to fucking god.

[Anonymous No.4800314]

>bell peppers

high water content so they're crisp and juicy with a sweet/slightly acidic taste.

[Anonymous No.4800316]

>>4799363
All of them.

[Anonymous No.4800372]

>>4800316
That's a terrible lie

[Anonymous No.4800418]

>>4800372
No, it's just a matter of opinion.

[Anonymous No.4800422]

Fried Okra. even if you hate vegitables, everyone I know LOVES fried okra it's a major staple of my part of the states, and to my surprise, you can't find it outside of the south.

And fyi, i've been eating so long I can't really explain the taste outside of "okra". Its good. really good.

[Anonymous No.4800746]

>>4799363

all of them.

it's a phase. you'll outgrow it after puberty hits.

fag.

entry level vegetables:

tomatoes, onion, baby carrots, fresh spinach

it will be most palatable to you if you put them in a pan for a few seconds, maybe add some light sauce of your choice (I tend to prefer mustard)

might help you ease into it if you add sweet potatoes or chicken or something so that it's not all vegetables, considering you don't seem to have developed a taste for vegetables

[Anonymous No.4800819]

Napa Cabbage.

This shit is great raw, in chinese style stews or as kimchi.

I feel you OP, I haven't liked veggies since I was young. 29 and I am still trying to eat more because I know they are good for me, but the texture/taste is awful for most veggies. I even bought a juicer to help me drink the veggies instead but it is such a pain in the ass to clean several times a day.

I love potatoes and tomatoes, I can tolerate onions bell peppers and romaine lettuce. I only like peas if they are fresh(like picked a couple minutes ago), carrots I don't like any way at all...cooked or raw. Also I love pickles but cant stand raw cucumbers.
I dont know if they count but I also love jalapenos, black olives, banana peppers, pepperoncini. Is my vegetable selection wide enough to ensure I am getting the proper nutrients? Or is there a vital veggie that I am missing?

Don't drink veggies, you lose out on all the delicious fibers and shit.

[Anonymous No.4800835]

Immersion blender will allow you to hide vegetables in strongly flavored soups and things like spaghetti sauce. All the nutrition, none of the flavor or texture. It's a trick I've used on picky eating girls before. Stick blenders are also dishwasher safe.

[Anonymous No.4800857]

>>4800309
me

Cant stand most of them, especially squash

[Anonymous No.4800886]

>>4800857
Mince zucchini and add it to taco meat.

It's good. It acts like tiny sponges and soaks up the grease.

[Anonymous No.4800891]

>>4800857
What the fuck. Squash is one of the best things.
