Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway.

Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself.

Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming.

Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler.

Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier.

Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend.

Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life.

Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up.

Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants.

Cabbage: not invited to my party.

Eggplant: that girl you don't like, but you're not sure why.

Carrots: sweet and buoyant, like a toddler.

As long as they all make friends in my cookware and in my tummy! :)

I am not a cauliflower!

And I think you're a little off on poor dear cabbage. I think cabbage is like that slightly insecure, socially awkward person who just needs a little guidance and wardrobe help.

That's pretty darn creative, bearette24! I'll never look at my vegetables the same way again.

Lisa, what vegetable should you be? Maybe jicama? ;)
SK said…
Oooh,, the jicama! Overlooked and underappreciated.. but fresh, delightfully tasty and can be spiced up with the right ingredients.
