My 7yo daughter has participated in her school veggie garden project, and
she and all her year class have a questionere asking their family which 3
veg they consider is the most popular, and it got me thinking what is the
most popular with us, as a nation.

Mine are New potatoes, broad beans, brussels sprouts.

My wife says runner beans, tomatoes, parsnip.

My mum and dad say anything that is in the garden waiting to be picked.(not
an answer but in the tick other box)

I wondered what this groups preferences are.

Cheers

It's always carrots. :-)

Depends what you are having it with, cabbage goes beautifully with steak,
mushroom & onion pie.

Eat lots of tomatoes but mainly cooked into a sauce, not that keen on them
raw and hate those little oversweet ones. Eat lots of onions too, again
usually in a sauce or combined as above, eat lettuce and red onion virtually
daily (salad for lunch).
Onions, tomatoes (cooked), lettuce.

cob and asparagus.

Peas are my ultimate favourite. Then
broad beans & brussels sprouts.
Parsnips are my least fave.

From what I am growing at present, chillis, more chillis, French
beans, other beans, hubbard-type squashes and Little Gem squashes :-)

But raw carrots are usually a mainstay, and I would grow broccoli
more often if I succeeded better with it! Spring purple broccoli,
of course. And I used to grow traditional potatoes - Belle de
Fontenay and Champion were our favourites.

Plus lots of things that I have dismally failed with, like okra.
And I am very fond of salsify.

My home grown new potatoes which, despite being "seeded" from a bag from
Sainsburys, tasted much better

I'm also very fond of what are sold in shops as "fine beans" but I have no
idea what a "fine" bean is or whether I could grow one at home. My dad gave
me a runner bean, but all it's done so far is to produce some nice red
flowers, which are very pretty, but I'm wondering when the bean part starts
happening.
