It can relate to the appearance or physical characteristics of the vegetable or even the taste. It might have a pungent and sharp or mellow and smooth flavor. It could be rough and bumpy or….well, you get the idea… maybe consider even the texture of it as you consume it.

I’m completely impartial to vegetables. Can I choose a fruit instead?
I would be peace.
Self-explanatory.
Potato. Good old solid, reliable, dependable, versatile spud. Well grounded too, which always helps :¬}
Squash.
Because I feel like I’m being squashed by my life at this time. Hopefully things will get better.
ALL -and explain why if you will please!
brussel sprouts – I’m not well liked but a few people adore me
I’m definitely an apple. Somewhat boring and ordinary, but delicious, and there is something quite extraordinary about the core of an apple :) Bit like people.
Onion. Once you peel back the outer skin, I’m hot..lol
@Neizvestnaya I love artichoke hearts! YUM! hmmm sounds cannibalistic ehk
Corn on the cob.
Lots of amazing little kernals make up the totality of me, and beneath my husk lies silk and sweetness. ;-)
avocado.. no reason, I just really really like them.
Garlic. People would have huge festivals just to celebrate me!
I have to go with @Coloma . Great writing, Coloma.
Japanese persimmons…
If picked at just the right time, even the skin on the persimmon is sweet and delicious. It is too delicate of a flavor to pair with anything else. It is to savor alone…with your bare taste buds. Just what some of us prefer.
@MissA That reminds me of this poem. I adore Li-Young Lee :)
Brussels sprouts because most people call them the wrong thing.
fiddlehead
Because there has been no straight path in my life and it reminds me of my curly hair. lol
Artichokes. Careful of the pricks.
@muppetish That was simply lovely. I saved it to reread and share. Thank you, very much.
@gravity Fiddlehead it is!
An onion, because there are layers and layers until you get to the soft sweet heart.
Does mushroom count? Covered in poop and kept in the dark.
@muppetish Thank you so much for the Li-Young Lee reference—a poet new to me. The persimmons poem was extraordinary!
Peppers I’m hot to trot ! sometimes! Use to be all the time…but, want to give everyone else a chance. Just being my considerate self. loll
Onion for me too. Lots of layers, not necessarily anything soft or sweet at the heart, however.
Onions could fit for me, too. Because I’m allergic to them. XD
Asparagus, because I make your pee smell. It’s a rare talent.
I would be a cherry tomato, cute and little with thin skin and very sweet (heheheh, yeah right!!!)
An, asparagus, gone to seed.
