Radishes

Green beans

Peas - best fresh out of the pod/ disgusting when canned

Corn - only on the cob never creamed (yuck)

Mushrooms - so many varieties to enjoy

Carrots - seldom buy them but eat them when on a veggie tray or chopped up in soups or stews

Broccoli - always a good choice

Celery - seldom buy it and don't like it when used as a cheap filler by Chinese restaurants/ will take some from a veggie tray at someone else's house

Onions - prefer the red/purple ones or scallions and shallots

Brussel sprouts - totally love well-carmelized, roasted sprouts done with garlic and (turkey) bacon

Spinach - yes, any time if fresh orin a wilted salad, but not cooked into mush

Potatoes - mashed/fries/hash browns/chips - what's not to like

ETA - I detest acorn squash and would rather be hungry.
