I thought I didn't like mushy peas but I think that was based on trying them once when I was very young (probably under 5). Then when we had some in-laws visiting they wanted to try some of our disgusting British food so we had fish, chips & mushy peas and I gave it a go and what do you know, mushy peas are actually delicious. Although not enough that I'm bitterly upset about 35 years of no mushy peas tbh.

Had same experience with mushy peas but put it down to the version I had as a kid coming from a cheap tin whereas now I guess it would be posh stuff.

chips are beyond reproach, roasties & creamy mash are incredible but only occasional treats. otherwise potatoes are no way near as useful, delicious or versatile as onions or toms, they are the wicked idol of the bland-palated sauce-denying ascetic

Cucumber is the only one of these that I'll eat raw, fresh out of the garden. Plus they are handy in raitas and tzatziki. And tabouleh!
Corn was a very close runner-up - not only for it's cob variation, but also for it's ingenious use in such dishes as Fritos.

generously seasoned mashed potatoes, with sour cream and butter are pretty amazing for something so simple to prepare. Irish style mash with cabbage/leeks cooked in milk + butter, rules as well. But onions and tomatoes are so much more important to me.

I'm voting for artichokes. There are a bunch of vegetables on here that are totally essential, extremely versatile ingredients in many different dishes, like tomatoes and onions and various others. These are great vegetables that deserve appreciation.
Artichokes, OTOH, are not versatile or essential, but they are fun and exciting. Artichokes are special event vegetables that can elevate a meal to that next level. I like to think of them as the crab legs of the vegetable world.

When my food-obsessive Israeli father-in-law got into the low-carb diet, he once went on a deathly serious rant about potatoes, to the effect of "The potato is a KILLER! It is a carb BOMB! NEVER eat potatoes! Never!" The way he pronounced killer "KEE-lehr" still rings in my ears.

Some tardigrades can withstand temperatures down to 1 K (−458 °F; −272 °C) (close to absolute zero) while others can withstand 420 K (300 °F; 150 °C)[12] for several minutes, pressures about six times greater than those found in the deepest ocean trenches, ionizing radiation at doses hundreds of times higher than the lethal dose for a human, and the vacuum of outer space.[13] They can go without food or water for more than 30 years, drying out to the point where they are 3% or less water, only to rehydrate, forage, and reproduce.
