All the medics and dieticians keep pushing the value of eating veggies. They are probably right, but a serving of green peas is never gonna have the attraction of a Big Mac and fries, at least for me. But, I have found a few veggie things that taste pretty good.
Lettuce. In salads. Conventional salads, chef's salads with a bit of sliced ham, and plain old steakhouse style. Just a wedge of lettuce on a plate with your favorite salad dressing poured on top.
Celery. Stuffed with cream cheese, and cut into 3 inch lengths. Crunchy.
Carrots. Raw, with ranch dip. Either the expensive little mini carrots, or just plain old carrots, peeled and sliced.
Artichoke. Steamed, with a bit of garlic. And melted butter to dip the leaves into.
Apples. I cut 'em into quarters, and cut out the seeds. Less waste than just nibbling them down to the core. With a little cheddar cheese on the side.
Apple sauce. Comes in little single serving plastic tubs. Sweet and moist, just right during winter heating season when everything gets dry. Also good with pork.
Tomatoes. Sliced with a bit of cottage cheese on top. And a dash of basil. Juicy.
Pineapple. Cans of sliced pineapple. Serve it with some cottage cheese on top.
