Best vegetable 13:51 - Feb 24 with 13930 viewsDubtractor

Seems like this is a vegetable kind of day. So which is the best one?

I'm going for cabbage. Specifically Savoy cabbage, steamed, with lots of salt and pepper. Finely sliced before steaming btw.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Red cabbage raw.

Crunchy white cabbage for its versatility.

Dark cabbage braised.

Asparagus is delicious but it's a bit of a one trick pony.


I think it's a bit like lobster, overrated by people who think it should be liked.

Asparagus? Give me something with a bit more attitude and lobster can fck right off, give me a bloody crab.

Call yourself Herbers. Tsk.

Raw or gently cooked, eaten on its own or with butter or vinaigrette, dipped in eggs, in a quiche, in a salad, as soup, stir fried with pretty much anything, etc...


You're reaching there. I'm an asparagus fan but it has limited range. It's Alan Shearer to cauliflower's Lionel Messi.

Cauliflower beats asparagus for versatility, granted. You are wrong to say it's a one trick pony.

I don't know what you mean, reaching for what? The pots and pans to prove you wrong? There's no need, anyone but a buffoon can see you're wrong about asparagus :)

It is also high in those lovely sulphuric compounds

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Give me lobster AND crab. Chuck in a load of clams and mussels while you're there. And some steak. And oysters. You can deffo leave the asparagus well out of this affair, mind.

Asparagus is the correct answer. All other vegetables wish they could be asparagus.

P.S. A leek is also a plumber's favourite vegetable.


Bluefish gave him a fiver. I have only ever had the white ones, and they were bl00dy awful. Never tried the green ones as they say it makes your pee smell funny. I don't like Parsnips either. Strange taste that.

Runner beans & asparagus eaten seconds after being plucked from the plot, butter and black pepper all that's required.


I usually grow a few runners. Never used to be a fan but as you say, straight from the plant they're pretty fine.

Add to that French beans and the mighty mange tout.

Oh I love asparagus, but basically you offered three options: eat it as it is, mix it up with some other veg, have it with egg. That's a fairly limited range. I'm discounting soup as you can boil anything and blitz it up, that doesn't evidence range. I do agree with you on the loveliness of asparagus though, it's a tasty bastard.

My wife makes a big suet pudding which we have with our Sunday roast, it looks like an big brain. I think it's a Nacton / Gainsboro things.

It's bloody great with a roast and we put curry powder all over the fecker.

Never got on with it old fruit. Strange tasting thing. Many have tried different variations on me, but no, still not a fan. Turnips the same. That other thing, roundish fellow is ok in things (I think they put it in pasties), but on its own, no thanks.

It's not a typical British dish but I like my vegetables sautéed with pasta. Cabbage, bell peppers, spinach, et cetera, most vegetables would work.

That sounds delish. The French do something similar in a pot au feu, basically a massive boiled dumpling. Can't beat a bit of suet :)

My good lady is also a Nactonite, she makes a suet cobbler, crispy delight on the outside fluffy fattiness inside, so it could be a Nacton trait.

Carrot. Makes the best cake there is or you can dunk them in some hummus if you ever find yourself in Surrey.

Love all suggestions mentioned above but I’d give honourable mention to curly kale, roasted celeriac and the humble broad bean...all lovely.

I would say it's definitely a Nacton thing although Lady Lucans is not crispy and I think I prefer in that way, it's a few kilos of stodgyness and acts as syphon when you pour gravy on it. Generally the size of a football.
