A bad cook always blames his spuds!

I knew it would attract criticism, lets face it potato is just padding and a delivery method for other flavours, it's own flavour, Jerseys excluded, is a whole lot of nothing.

Other that peas or carrots it has to be the potato; crisps, chips, hash browns, roasted or sautéed, what more do you need?

Although from the poll it has to be beer, but doesn't that mean that Vodka should also be in there?

Other that peas or carrots

Nope, has to be peas and carrots. See above.

of the OP's choices I chose onion because it's so versatile. but Daughter made her roasted brussel sprouts the other night & they were outstanding. I never cared for their aroma when steamed as Wifey likes to prepare them. but roasty-toasty is a whole 'nother experience. she adds a tiny bit of seasoning & I sprinkled a tiny bit of salt on them. couldn't get enough

 

[stephec]

For all you sprout lovers.

So where's black truffle and jerusalem artichoke on the list?

Brussels sprouts are the king of vegetables and parsnips the queen. Except in a cheese sandwich, then cress and either tomatoes or beetroot are preferable.

I say "any vegetable".

What is it?

Nature's best attempt at a fractaliflower. It's actually a romanesco cauliflower. I've never tasted them though. Eating them seems like missing the point of them....

Never, ever mix these with psylocibin mushrooms - you will probably spend a couple of hourse deciphering fractals

Nearly all of them.
Beetroot, love a beetroot sandwich,
Sprouts, so tasty.
Swede, delicious, love it.
Cabbage, all types.
Carrots.
Parsnips.
Potatoes, had mash tonight, picasso, lovely and buttery flavour, none of your supermarket rubbish.
I dont have a favourite go to, they're all great.

And a dozen are far cheaper: win-win. Something to consider for valentine’s day.

Spooky, eh?
