A few of my favorite things...

In class we have been talking about National per capita vegetable consumption and an interesting question was asked.  "How do your top 5 favorite fruits and vegetables compare to the National top 5?"

So, here it is, a list of my top 5 and the National top 5:

My Vegetables

• Tomatoes-any color you can think of and eaten any way you can imagine
• Peppers-in my house you will find peppers in just about anything
• Asparagus-especially the thin super tender early asparagus
• Turnips (roots and greens)- the ones we grow here are divine
• Watermelon- I know it's a fruit but according to the USDA it is lumped in with vegetables
• and beans, lettuce, broccoli, radishes, edamame...how can I narrow it to just 5???

My Fruits

• Cherries-I can't speak on variety and I have yet to try Rainier...any comments on it?
• Apples-Fugi, Cripps Pink, just about anything but the Delicious types
• Citrus-I am cheating by just including the whole family
• Pineapple-try it grilled with a little lime, honey and cayenne pepper
• Grapes-except the green ones...yuck!
