Vegetables...

I thought mushrooms were funghi, not vegetables otherwise I would have them on my list too.

Have you ever tried garlic ice cream using fresh garlic chips. The contrast between the cold of the ice cream and the hot zing from the raw garlic is really nice.

A farmer gave me 20lb of garlic one time, so I threw it in the deep freezer. It seeped into almost everything. Great for the meat, not so much for the ice cream.

17 kg!? Are you feeding livestock? The wife and I would be lucky to consume 1 cucumber, 1 zucchini, 2 potatos and 2 carrots in a week. Beetroot, we don't see this often prepared in the US excepting the purple pickled variety that grows in a can. We do like lettuces, peppers, tomatos and onions. How're my vegetables? Waiting for a saute, I think.
17 kg is only the average... Summer is probably higher than that... Think about it - counting only six of us for 3 meals in seven days, it is only 120 gr of vegetables... About half the meal... Not that much at all...

Yeah, that was pretty obvious given your name, but your list of veg looks like a typical Russian salad. :)

It is maybe, because I grew up in Hungary with very few vegetables (and very expensive) in summer time... but with a lot of cheap roots in winter...

That reminds me... One of these days I'll have to pop over to Gilroy, CA for the Garlic Festival ( https://gilroygarlicfestival.com/ )

Just made a in-house research about vegetables... I found that we buy a bit less than 17 Kg of vegetables each week... The five vegetables made to the top are: 1. Cucumber 2. Zucchini (of different colors) 3. Potato 4. Carrot (of different colors) 5. Beetroot How're your vegetables?

Interesting read of the post and the majority of replies for actual varieties consumed... And this leads to what you consider a vegetable to be, and which is the right way to go. Is it based off the scientific/biological definition OR is it what the government considers it OR is it how a cook prepares it. I am more of a scientific person; in that if it is either seed or fruit based then it is a fruit. Vegetables are not actually defined in themselves, but are considers to be "plant parts" that are not ovarian products.So in my world; cukes, squashes, tomatoes, peppers, avocados, artichokes are all fruits. One interesting plant is Coriander. Both the fruits and plant parts are edible commonly used. Confusion is prevented in the US by calling the "vegetable" portion as Cilantro or Chinese Parsley.

That risc comes more from maple sirup than from rice or potatoes. Lots of people eating just rice and beans every day, and that's a complete protein for you.

My doctor told me a year ago that I was moving into the "risc zone" for diabetes II, and recommended a change of eating habits. I never eat syrup, do not drink sweetened drinks (neither sugar nor artificial), very rarely sweets. But I did eat lots of rice, white pasta and potatoes. I replaced maybe 80-90% of that with vegetables, but no other significant changes. Half a year later, my doctor told me: You are on the out of the danger zone, now your blood sugar level is fine! - and it has stayed that way since. I still eat lots of vegetables, only rarely (and small portions) of potato, rice and pasta. Maybe following my doctor's advice just happened to coincide with some other reason for my long-term blood sugar levels to drop back to normal. But I can guarantee you: If so, the real reason had nothing to do with sirup of any kind, maple nor other. (Maple sirup is virtually unknown in Norway, except for those who have been spending a year or more in the USA. Don't expect to find it in every grocery store here!)

Meal-sizes will also vary, and I doubt you ate the rice dry. Veggies are also better for your intestines, and having seen the prices in the supermarkets there - a whole lot better for your finances than extra meat :)
