That is: the best-tasting veg if it’s boiled or steamed and served as a side vegetable (None of this aubergine parmigiana nonsense).

I’d say brocco in all its forms, can whack it in a grill pan/bbq too. Same with :corn:

Big fan of sesame/soy broccoli. On its own it’s good, but always feel like it needs a little something to elevate it.

I’m surprised with the lack of support for corn on the cob. No one eats anything else on its own surely

It’s broccoli, and the fact it was the go to “bad veg” on a lot of kid’s TV is the reason this country has gone to the dogs.

If you’re boiling / steaming your corn in the cob then sure.

Can I boil my carrots in cider and add honey and rosemary & thyme?

#15

Keep reading it as corn in the ccb

#16

No.

#17

Yes I boil my cotc - how else would you do it?

#18

Ok. I’m just going to have some uncooked baby plum tomatoes. One of the best snacks

Barbecued? Tbh I should have never doubted your ability to abide by the rules of the thread, so please ignore my additional questioning

asparagus is pretty good but think i’d be annoyed if it was steamed instead of grilled because it so easily could have been much better

An additional “highlight” of fish and chips is having peas with a hint of ketchup at the end.

I quite like a few peas with a pie, just to lighten things up when the suet pastry is starting to dominate.
