Luther, you have good taste!

I've just planted 12 different potato varieties and am planning to dig them up as new spuds later this year - melt in the mouth - I really can't wait. And I can't be without garlic in the kitchen so have just planted some cloves - a little late but worth a try. Why only green chillies though, not red?

I'm really in love with black soy beans right now. They are generally served as a side dish to Korean food but I recently added them as a side to veggie fajita tacos and they were amazing!!!
Here is a link to how to prepare:

Hi Jovon
I've never come across black soy beans - are the beans black, or is it that they end up black through cooking?

Oooo Black Soy Beans or SoyA beans?

I love Soya beans but not Soya milk for some reason.

I love my veggies And I cook them properly lol, not like 'schools veg', all sloppy and soft. Have to have a bit of crunch to them!

HAVE to have a bit of bite to vegetables!!! This is how I have been brought up with them, although when we go to nans for sunday lunch they are always boiled to death, I have always preferred the way we have them at home

Not many vegetables I DONT like, mushrooms are a big NO and not a fan of asparagus or aubergine

I love all the green vegetables. It is not difficult to select the vegetables I think. First go, get and taste. It will develop your choice.

Vegetables are very important for our body because they provide important nutritions and vitamins. The best choices are fresh, frozen and canned vegetables and vegetable juices without added sodium.

How is the best way to cook them to get the best of their nutrients? I heard boiling isn't great. I steam mine...

I don't think I've met a vegetable I dislike!

So top of the likes:

Cabbage - I know, who'd go for cabbage as a fave? But not just any old boring cabbage, I like those deep dark iron rich greens!
Cauliflower - fresh steamed floretes, firm yet yielding. In a cheesy sauce is best.
Swede - also known by the more colourful term 'Rutabaga' by our American cousins. A lesser loved vegetable in these days of continental everything, but mashed with butter and pepper = heaven. Just ensure those orangey little cubes are boiled up thoroughly, and drained likewise. No tough fibres or waterlogging allowed!
Watercress - Wow, do I wish I had a stream. This peppery salad vegetable is incredibly moreish and perfect for sandwiches involving mock ham!
Rocket - fortunately I don't need a stream to grow this! Great in salads and sandwiches. Or snaffled while weeding..
Corn in the cob - just add butter (or Pure margarine) sea salt and black pepper. Perfect on the veggie BBQ.
Mushrooms - any which way you fancy. Nothing not to love in these parasitic little beige fruits for the veggie home cook.
Chard - so superior to spinach. Comes in rainbow colours too!
Frozen Petite Pois - Many veg. are rubbish if not cooked from fresh as the cell membranes burst on freezing when the water in them expands, but starchy vegetables freeze brilliantly. Baby peas (and baby broad beans too) in particular, are a superb freezer standbye.
