It's a herb and I prefer to smoke it rather than eat it.

Surely 'erb?

[Jah Lush]

Yeah mon, the heavenly 'erb.

But then you'll get the munchies! And you'll be through your veggie-fruity-fun stash before you know it!

Does Joey Deacon count?

[benjaminty]

a vegetable usually goes well with a cheese/creamy sauce.... but whatever floats your boat I guess... but then if he floats ya boat.. you could get off the island. So maybe I see your point :))

Mockney, I would argue with the definition of what is a vegetable. As I was taught a fruit grows from a flower and has the seed inside it and a vegetable - doesn't. Therefore strawberries are most definitely a fruit as are tomatoes.

If this is based on Desert Island Discs then the choice should be 8.

However,

Potato

Onion

Kale

beetroot

fennel

[Floating Onion]

Onions. Everybody needs onions!

>:D<

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Agreed. I think onions should be equivalent to the Bible on DID. Man cannot live by brussel sprouts alone.

Lovely Mr Palaeologus,

I share you passion for brussels sprouts! I have a super recipe for brussels sprout soup with just a touch of stilton - would you like it sweetie?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Oh blimey - yes please darling DM!

I had a portion of sprouts with my lamb cassrole this very evening.

my mum mixes brussels with cream and chestnuts mmmmmmmmm

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I remember as a kid brussel sprouts tasted bitter and disgusting, but somehow they have become sweet enough for my kids to fight over them. How did this happen?

Mine would be

onion

broccoli

sugar snaps

corn on the cob

sweet potato

[dulwichmum]

For anyone who is interested in the Brussels Sprout soup recipe...

Fry a medium onion in butter until translucent. Add in yesterday's pre-cooked brussels sprouts, along with 1 or two of yesterday's potatoes (to thicken it up). When all mixed, cover with ham stock. Simmer for around 20 minutes. Blend, and just before serving, crumble in STILTON (not cream) to taste. (You may need to reheat it if if it has cooled down, to melt in the stilton).

Enjoy...

[Michael Palaeologus]

Ham stock? .... Oh you know the rest :))
