I lament the fact that I live in a place where we do not have many choices for vegetables so when someone says "Arugula" or "Brussels sprouts" I am just imagining how would they taste. But I do think that I will die not knowing how the taste of truffles. They say that it was like oniony with a hint of dirt or something like that. In that case i would love to have some but it is just a hopeless endeavor to wish to eat all the vegetables out there in the world.
Some places are just blessed with wide selections of vegetables and even though there is a province here that produces a lot of vegetables still we do not have much of a choice but to cook the same dishes for vegetables because the ingredients ar just the same and limited.
So what vegetables I am talking about? The number one was the squash, then followed by the string beans, eggplant, okra, sweet potato greens, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, patchoi (Chinese Cabbage), and river cabbage. And a few more but that is just about it.
There is just two main vegetable dishes that this house cooks and the other one is only once n a blue moon my mother cooks because it needs cauliflower and broccoli which are both an expensive vegetables especially when there is a typhoon.
My mother just cooks one vegetable dish and it only gets interesting when she puts fermented shrimp sauce in it or pork or shrimps or even blue crabs while it only consist of squash, string beans, okra, and eggplants plus some river cabbage if they so choose to put some. But my father when he cooks it is a vegetable dish indeed, only some seasoning pack will do the trick for him so the vegetable really looks boring and uninteresting to eat for me.

Your post is making me hungry. I'm going to go out in the yard and get me some stinging nettles and brew up some vegetable tea. I never had the chance to eat that when I was younger but since I moved many years ago there were many new choices of food to eat for me. I wish it was easier for you to experience different types of vegetables.
At my hometown we have plenty of veggies for free 😊
LOL I don't recognize this leafy vegetable. That is what I am talking about, we do not have much varieties here.
We call this "niyog-niyog" or "lubi-lubi" in Sorsogon. In wikipedia it's Philippine fig (^_^). This veggie is very tasty and is said to be a good remedy for high blood pressure. :)
We would not all essential nutrients and proteins if we eat single or a few vegetables . I wish you should eat more vegetables to imbibe the natural nutrients into your body which makes you to recover faster . Wish your mom would cook all the vegetables one day bro .
for all vegetable really looks boring and uninteresting to eat. but my dear vegetables are good for you :) i wish i send you all kind of veggies because we have a lot more types of veggies around there. Thank to ALLAH
Now this is one funny thing about life. Just the way u complain about not having so much vegetables , I haven't seen of tasted some of the vegetables you called which you have tasted, for example ...The Chinese cabbage, string beans, squash, sweet potatoe leaf, cauliflower and broccoli but u have tasted and send them.
That's why it is good to be grateful for whatever we have no matter how small, what you have plenty is what others are looking for, just the same way you are looking for what u think you don't have
Sounds to me like you need to take up gardening!
I do love my vegetables. And I just recently have come to appreciate Brussels Sprouts. They are sort of a savory, lettuce- flavored veggie. My favorite combo, however, is broccoli and cauliflower with carrots. We call that a California Mix here. I have that several times a week...
a curry with "fermented shrimp sauce in it or pork or shrimps or even blue crabs while it only consist of squash, string beans, okra, and eggplants plus some river cabbage ". wow.....
i think it is perfect. though i am not a veggie but i would like to get this type of dishes everyday.... :D
you can grow there because vegetables are rich in fiber and vitamins that are good for you I recommended you must grow vegetables According to vegetables are Better than other food @cryptopie
whales are not vegetables... Hey @whales dont feel offended lol
Vegetables are good for the body. Sometimes it is good to eat vegetables. If it is to eat vegetables every day, it really is very annoying
Whatever food we have ever tasted, our mother's cuisine is never unchallenged. I am thrilled to read the content @cryptopie because there is a mother. Thank you for reminding me of Mother's cooking vegetables
Hope you will eat and test its taste Dear don"t worry God bless you and your parents
Indeed on the off chance that you are not ready to live in such places where commotion is so much you go toward your siblings where you feel well and great
Expectation you are feel great I wish you wellbeing and riches
God favor you and your folks
Eat what is suitable for you.
I think any cooking of own mother is best and delicious also, is it vegetable or other. Your experience really touched me.
An usuful story @cryptopie.
Veggies are awesome and good for your body and health. Eat more vegetables it is nice and healthy
wow..good post..the food are good for the body & many information this post @cryptopie thanks for sharing
Veggies are best eaten plain & pure though
Really eating only vegetables can be boring. Here in Venezuela some vegetables cost a lot of money. Take advantage of those who have and can vary the way of cooking
Vegetables contain a variety of vitamins and other nutrients vital for good health....In some cases, it can be difficult to eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables everyday.... While vitamin supplements can help fill in nutritional gaps left by an inadequate diet, they are not a replacement for vegetables and other food groups...sometimes we need to take vegetables..its good for health..thank you..stay safe
Hello friend, in fact all the vegetables are good for our health, they have many vitamins for our body, they can be prepared in many ways, here in my country Venezuela, they produced a lot, but because of the crisis, we no longer have that great variety , because we can not plant and also what little is left, prices are exorbitant, so we have learned to prepare them in many ways, I love pumpkin, eggplant, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, here we have them and are prepared in different ways @ cryptopie
If only I could go back and tell my young self that all those veggies I didn't want would be the vast majority of food I eat in adulthood!
