I can't stand licorice but I love fennel bulbs, especially when they're cooked - roasting or braising are great. Mixed with other foods the licorice flavor isn't prominent and serves to enhance other flavors, and the sweetness is brought out with cooking. Bulb fennel is difficult to grow, however, at least in my area. I've done it successfully but it requires extra TLC and a good rabbit fence - the little beggars bypass the lettuce and carrots and go right to eating fennel plants to the ground. Herb or bulb fennel is a great host plant for swallowtail butterfly caterpillars and I am always happy to share dill or fennel with them.

@awesometurtle — Black licorice, not so much. Or, maybe I’m just speaking for myself. Blech.

Grilled fennel is alright though. I would have recognized it if the leaves were pictured, since there’s wild fennel all over the place where I live, but the bulbs stumped me.

Mr man and I would buy fennel and okra, though not cook the okra to slime levels, looking at you, Masri! My son would have no idea.

He loves Brussel Sprouts, because we achetéd them when we were skint and food was scarce.

In the eastern US, "spouts" (without Brussels) would refer to alfalfa or bean sprouts - which are used in salads, sandwiches, etc.

I went to my horse riding potato growing relatives, who had plenty of other crops and put up tons of chutney. Raspberries are weeds though.

They were weirdly impressed with pancakes, but there are lots of bachelors and widowers who subsist on what they grow and catch. It's a mean place and women die young or leave.

I'm a bit surprised that parsnip is so well known. Is it used often in the US?
samiamco

Mar 25, 2018
Well, considering it falls in percentage guessed just below okra, which is pretty much a southern food here, I wouldn't say parsnips are *all* that well-known, but they are certainly widely available. And I think most people have at least heard of them, even if they couldn't quickly identify one on sight. They're definitely called for in any high-end root vegetable dish. (Hope that answers your question!)
MayaB

That's interesting because the only reason I know about them is my German mother in law who lives in the states. I've always assumed it was a common German food item, like rutabaga. I'll have to pay more attention at the grocery store when we go back this summer.

I know okra is called ladyfinger in some places, but if you saw my Fife Creek cowhorn okra you wouldn't think there was anything ladylike about it. :) 10-12" pods that are still tender, grown on mammoth, branching 8-foot plants - they are like trees growing in the garden. I never met an okra I didn't like, and if you know how to cook it, it isn't slimy. I usually grow four varieties each summer - Alabama Red, Burmese, and Emerald are my favorites.

The quiz also doesn't state that it's based on scientific vegetables either, so you need to use your common sense to figure out that the majority of people go by culinary vegetables and that, as you are oh so smart enough to know that many of them aren't scientific vegetables, it must be a quiz about culinary vegetables. People trying to look smart by pointing out well known non-vegetables in this quiz only make themselves look the opposite

Stormswift

Most of them in fact, are fruit ... capsicum, cucmber, okra, tomato, aubergine, pumpkin and squash -

anything you eat the whole fruit is a fruit - but culinary speaking ... fruit can be either savoury or sweet, in fact Masterchef Australia taught us how to use tomatoes as a dessert. Vegetables can also be used as a sweet like the rhubarb, but is usually just the roots, leaves or stalk of the plant is eaten in order for it to be classed as a vegetable. So good quiz - doesn't matter whether it's a fruit/vegetable really, as long as we know what they are and use them instead of food that is posing as food.

Good lord, do people get het up about the fact that "fruit" and "vegetable" are not actually mutually exclusive. Tomatoes (and corn, and eggplants, and pumpkins, and cucumbers, and bell peppers, and okra, and butternut squash, and...) are botanically fruits, but are culinarily vegetables. This quiz is obviously going by the culinary definition of "vegetable," which is rather arbitrary but generally means "a plant part that humans use as a savory food," while culinarily "fruit" generally means "a plant part that humans use as a sweet food."

How do you define "vegetable" so that it excludes tomatoes? "A plant part used as food that is not botanically a fruit?" Then you're going to lose string beans, eggplant, corn, snap peas, and a lot more as vegetables as well.

Guys, can we please stop the "tomato is a fruit!!" comments. Botanically speaking the edible parts of plants can be categorized by where on the plant they come from, but vegetable is not one of those categories. The group "vegetables" is purely culinary and since the title of the quiz is "Vegetable by picture" it is implied we are talking about a culinary definition here!
