Garlic powder (anything except icecream)

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.

Peeled and sliced into sticks, great for a dipping snack along with carrot sticks and celery sticks. I'm into dipping sticks!

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

I made enquiries: Is the Mushroom a Vegetable? | BestFoodFacts.org[^]. :-D

I've got a friend claiming to be a "secondary vegetarian". He only eats creatures that are vegetarian.

But both potatoes and rice are so full of carbohydrates that if you are having too high blood sugar levels, in the risk zone for developing diabetes II, you should not eat excessive amounts of either.

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.

I enjoy teasing some parents - usually mothers about corn (i.e. maize): Popcorn was introduced in Norway approx 50 years ago, as a Saturday night snack in the same main group as ice cream and chocolate. Or a special treat in movie theaters. Something that is not very healthy, but we must allow ourself some slight "misbeaviour" every now and then. Lots of Norwegian people/parents still have the conception that popcorn and sugar sweets are equally unhealthy. So I ask these parents: Why don't you serve them maize instead? (We call it 'mais') They look back: I could never make them eat maize as a snack! Sure you can, I tell them: There are special variants that you can fry in a couple tablespoons of oil util the grain pops open and they are crispy and tasty! Add a little salt, not too much, and I am sure that they will love it! Very few parents accept that popcorn and yellow, boiled maize essentially is the same food. But it is. I must add that not one of all my friends can stand this crazy American idea of having butter dripping down on the corn to soak it with butter as it pops. Also, a major reason for popping your own is to reduce the amount of salt to a third of that in pre-popped corn. Rather, try spreading a little garlic granulate and/or ground juniper berries on it immediately after popping. Or experiment with other spices. Even though it is possible to force maize to be unhealthy, if you insist, you certainly don't have to do so!

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.

In no particular order and leaving out staples like ToFu, Rice and potato (knish!) 1 - baby Bok Choi 2 - Tomato 3 - (hot) peppers - (home made hot sauce when garden dies) 4 - eggplant 5 - onion 6 - Mushrooms Mixed in with this is an assortment of frozen vegs (for cooking) which includes string beans, broccoli, corn (maize), green peas, periodic outburst of Romaine lettuce, particularly when I'm in a mood to make egg rolls.

So what ARE you eating, then? The list you present is hardly enough to provide calories for a single day! It sounds as if you are treating vegetables as a small side dish to the "real" food! If you make you main meal a vegetable soup: Start with some chicken broth (I actuall use turkey broth - every time I bake a turkey, I make 5-8 soup size portions of broth from boiling the bones), chop up carrots, onoion, leek, beets, cauliflower, ... whatever are your favorite vegetables. If you don't want to leave the table still hungry, it takes half a kilogram of vegetables per person. Maybe more, depending on how physiucally active the people are. Often, when I make a mostly-vegetable soup, I add some minced turkey meat - but almost like a spice, it makes up a minor part of the nutrition, both in proteins and calories. Or, when you make chili con carne: You really don't need that much carne! (In our canteen at work, they serve "vegetarian chili con carne", leading to so many laughs that they now have renamed it "chili sin carne") If you use a proper mix of beans, tomato, onions, and some broth to replace plain water, you can either leave the meat out completely, or use a third of what the recepie says. Again: An adult will require at least half a kilogram of rice, beans, tomatos, onion and other vegetarian ingredients to still his hunger. (OK, so rice is a grain, not a vegetable, but at least it is plant food. Tomatos are not vegetables either, but berries. So are cucumbers.) If you consider even grains OK: Serving bread with warm food is not that common in Norway, but I do - and with lots of food, whole grain breads are excellent! Tasty, you won't get hungry again for a while, and if you care for cost: As long as you bake it yourself, it is cheap. (And you should, because it should still be warm from the oven when you serve it.) Then comes the snacks: Carrot and rutabaga sticks, the pizza sauce with lots of onions and maybe other vegetables. Dark, whole grain breads with lots of spices, or filled with a spiced vegetable sauce, are eccellent as snacks. Then: The in-between meals. The carrot or whatever in your lunch bag. In my childhood, my mother made meat balls for two adults, two kids, from a quarter of a kg of hamburger... That is slighly above 60 grams/person. We were not starved: Potatoes, carrots, rutabaga, onions... with every main meal. Maybe a plain tomato or spinach soup before the main dish, and a fruit compote afterwards. (Again: Fruit is not vegetable, but certainly plant food.) We were f
