Do you eat leeks plain by themselves at all?
Cube, boil until soft, into a baking dish and cover with cheese, into the oven until golden - magnificent.

I love Brocolli, Brocolli tops, roast parsnips, sweetcorn, spinach, runner beans, swede, turnip, marrowfat peas, probably more that I can't think of right now.
I can't stand sprouts, cabbage or cauliflower.

Well K, have you tried that artichoke we talked about yet?
I forgot in my original post to mention the humble avocado.
We always had avocados when I was growing up, had our own avocado trees as well, but I never wanted to try them.It was two summers ago I finally tried eating one straight out of the peel with salt and by my second half I was hooked forever. Being in the southwest, they're in a lot of our dishes out here and not just as guacamole either. I buy them only in summer when they're 50 cents a piece, 15-20 at a time. Usually Hass avocados from California but I'm not picky.
Please try one and tell me how you like it!

Wow...How is it that home grown green beans can be that much better than store bought green beans?...
Oh wait I know,..they're not grown with herbicides, pesticides, and steroidal cow dung...
And they're not subject to food additives to the point of lumps growing out of your fn throat...

Sliced and fried in butter with salt and paprika and black pepper!
Baked in the oven with olive oil and herbs!
Mashed and slathered in gravy!
Sometimes sliced and eaten raw....might be an acquired taste like turnips.
Oh yeah raw turnips! Very earthy taste to them. Never had them cooked though.

I have a bizarre sort of recipe...
Try this...A family invention...
2 whole large cucumbers skinned and sliced a 1/4 inch thick
2 cups of vinegar (I use cider vinegar)
2 cups sugar
2 jalapeños sliced 1/4 inch thick
Bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil...Place in bowl...Add cucumbers and jalapeños and let marinate for at least an hour (The longer it marinates the better they are)...Obviously use the jalapeños according to your tolerance...
