What kind of brainwashed Dudley Do-Right feels like the top option is the only right one.

Especially raw
---

Vegetables are great with a healthy dose of anything-else.

French fries and ketchup.
Baked potatoes and butter.
Salads and honey mustard.
Mushrooms in crock pots with other good stuff.
Peppers and pizza with even better ingredients.
Green beans and country ham.

Corn's the positive exception. All hail corn.
---

Well there's stuff that I can eat raw and love it all the time like tomatoes and cucumbers.

Spinach I like better raw but it's fine cooked, as long as it's part of a bigger dish.

Carrots are okay raw, but I usually need some sort of dip or dressing for them. I'm not fond of them cooked at all.

Then there's stuff like broccoli that I really don't like at all.

There's not a non-desert dish in existence that isn't improved by added vegetables.
---

I like potatoes, and I like onions and peppers when they're chopped up into something. Aside from some other obviously vegetable-based products, the taste of most vegetables makes me vomit.

Absolutely.

Well, I don't like beets actually. But everything else I'm a fan of

I dunno I've heard of zucchini pancakes at least and that doesn't sound unappealing

What are you nuts

The guy had it right the first time

Also hell no almost all vegetables suck in all variety. Salad is an awful variation in particular

I still eat them but I don't have to like these awful tasting horrors
---

I'm not big on salad or vegetables by themselves, but if they're complementing something else then sure.
---

how you gonna group every vegetable together like an eggplant is the same as a bell pepper

All vegetables are amazing except Brussel sprouts.
---

Preparation goes a long way. Even something as basic as steaming broccoli can greatly enhance the flavor. Other veggies have their own fun qualities, some are great by themselves, while others need other ingredients to shine.

Like anyone else, I've my preferences, but in general there are few vegetables that I can't find some way to enjoy.

Have you ever had them prepared non-boiled?

Most people that don't like them have only ever had them boiled which is by far the worst way to cook them.

Roast them in the oven with salt, pepper, and garlic, and a splash of lemon (not much).

One of the best veggies in existence when prepared correctly.

I did not ask for some other food similar to pancakes. I asked "Pancakes".

first of all pancakes are a dessert

second of all potato pancakes and kimchi pancakes etc are all veggie based pancakes that are delicious

I've had beet (IIRC) pancakes that were pretty good.

potato pancakes

latkes, cur
---

I mean, they aren't actually called "kimchi pancakes" either. It is just a way to explain to english speakers what the food is in a term they would understand.

Corn is great. Potatoes are great. Sauteed onions as part of a larger dish are decent.

Most other vegetables are bad, or at best neutral if you disguise their taste. Like you can douse broccoli in cheese, or wrap asparagus in bacon, and it's all right. But you could be having actual good food with cheese/bacon instead.
---

You've never had good broccoli or asparagus, drak
---

Indeed.
---

I probably should have specified "non-starch" vegetables.
---

I like some cooked, some raw. I usually like every vegetable one way or another

Pancakes are a cake cooked in a pan. Which is what those are.

Most of the time when I talk about vegetables, people tell me that potatoes don't count.

Because, aside from starches, I don't eat vegetables. I refuse to. Don't like the taste, don't like the texture. No amount of "but they're good for you" will ever change that. If you can wipe away both of those, like in a soup, then okay. I can stand almost anything in a soup.

The thing that makes me a little unique is that I give fruit the same treatment.

Some veggies are good, some not so much.

Also I have never and will never eat a salad
---

Yep, very much.

Fun fact: You can tint your skin a little yellow or orange by eating large quantities of vegetables high in carotenoids like carrots and sweet potatoes. It's otherwise totally harmless.
---

i like vegetables but im not gonna eat only vegetables in a meal
---

yes. can't stand onions. don't care for parsnips or Brussels sprouts, but I'll eat them if they are present. no issues with any other veggies as far as I can recall.
---

Vegetables are my favorite thing in the entire world

I made some bomb ass Brussels sprouts
Asparagus is so good with evoo, salt, and pepper.
Throw a bunch of veggies in a pan with some garlic and saute that shit

I LOVE VEGETABLES

Okay but you realize how ridiculous this sounds?

Like do you know how many non-starch vegetables there are, and methods of preparation for each? You hate ALL those textures? How do you like any food at all?

All the ones that I've had. At this point, why would I expect to find exceptions?

I've had vegan hot dogs before. the taste, texture and appearance were identical to normal hot dogs, minus the skin/skin-like layer. I actually really enjoyed them.

Because there's just so many. You can't extrapolate out to thousands of foods like that.

I dunno, I figure trying new things is just an essential part of life.
---

Depends on the vegetable.

Some I'll love no matter what, like onions.
Some I'll only eat if it's cooked, like mushrooms and broccoli.
Some I'll only eat if it's raw, like spinach.
---

I have taken spinach, pineapple, banana, and pineapple/tropical juice, placed them into a blender, and pressed the button.

The result is still delicious.

But they all have so many different textures and tastes? Especially when you factor in cooking methods.

What you're arguing is like saying "you don't like any rap songs? But there are so many kinds, depending on who the artist is, and..."

I'm sure there's tens of thousands of rap songs, but if you've experienced 50 of them, that's probably a large enough sample size.

(Just an example. I'm not saying I hate rap.)

No, you're the one that is making the fallacious argument. Vegetables are more akin to music as a whole, with many, many different kinds of styles, textures, and flavors that can't even remotely be compared to one another. Not liking rap would be like saying 'well I don't really like any leafy vegetables'. You really, REALLY cannot say that corn is similar to lettuce or that broccoli is similar to an onion. It's just completely opposite flavor and texture profiles, similar to how rap is completely different from classical.

Tbh my favorite rap songs are ones that sample from classical pieces
