What veg could you not live without?

Thank you for the asafoetida tip, janerowena will give that a try!

Thanks Riverwalk- never heard of it. Perhaps it has another name in French? Will have to look next time I go, but as you may know my local supermarkets are in France. Best thing, I'll go to bed tonight a bit less stupid ;)

Would have to be tomatoes-for their multiple uses and juiciness.However,as tomatoes are strictly classed as fruit,my fave veg would be cabbage-white,green or red and also peas.

Fennel - yuck!

Peas, peas, peas!

Peas, peas, peas!

oznan - and others! Yes, tomatoes are technically fruit, so presumably we are allowed them as well as a vegetable!
And beans, peas, avocado, pumpkin, peppers etc

I will still go for potatoes then.

My son and his family were complaining about the red pepper I had put out for them when they came for dinner last Friday. I then realised that it was the first non-organic one that I had given them for months, possibly years.
So I would have to say I cannot do without organic veg.

Rather rude of them to complain about the food you'd provided anyway to my mind, durhamjen!

As most frozen veg is now frozen on site as it is picked, yes it can be better vitamin-wise than buying veg that has been hanging about in cold stores for three weeks waiting for a buyer. When you grow your own veg, it's truly amazing how long veg lasts compared to what you buy as fresh from the supermarket. It's best cooked from frozen though. Soup is an ideal way to use it.

granjura as I recall, asafoetida in French is known as devil's shit. . Merde du diable.

Actually, its proper name is pretty much the same. L'asa fetida, sorry don't know how to do accents on this computer.

Do your family always say everything is delicious, Ana? I'd rather they told me the truth.
It didn't taste as good as it normally did, which was true. People say that there is no difference between organic and other food, but they are obviously wrong.
I used the pepper in soup!

You did say that the whole family 'complained', which I thought wasn't very polite. Yes, a comment about the lack of flavour compared to previous offerings would be fair enough.

Grandson and granddaughter would normally eat a whole pepper each if I let them, as they like them so much. Just shows how bad it was; from M&S, too.
