What is your pulse rate?

What vegetables do you like Miles? You seem meat/carb heavy.

What vegetables do you like Miles?

Potatoes, carrots and onions. I can eat lettuce too, so will buy some of that next time I go shopping. 4 pieces with every meal.

[Gandalf]

Oh, and bell peppers and chilli peppers. And tomatoes in food, but not tomatoes themseleves.

LOL. That's not really a wide range of options. Have you tried things you didn't like as a kid? I hated mushrooms as a kid and love them now. I don't really consider potatoes as a vegetable in the same sense that asparagus, squash, etc., are but whatever. A salad of lettuce, bell pepper, onion and dressing is an option.

Quite true, very limited range. Maybe I should sample some more of these things, but my mind is full of horrid memories. Could maybe take it step by step. Lettuce is a start.

Asparagus. Roasted with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Try it. You could even grate some parmesan on it to make it more palatable. Its solid. Or boil it, and then saute it in a little butter.

Things I hated as a kid and still hate: Squash, zucchini, brussel sprouts. Maybe hate is too strong a word but they're just meh. Bland. You can season them but they're still meh.

I will give the asparagus a go, not really into cheese though so a little salt and pepper will have to suffice. Lettuce and asparagus, if it goes well then I have almost doubled my vegetable range.
