I'm at a loss to figure out vegetables for Cordelia's weekly, going to see the social worker lunches. Tomatoes definitely don't work, and she's been iffy on peppers. I've been trying cucumbers, but it's been about 50-50 whether or not she likes them. She says that some of them just taste bad, and all I can do then is throw the dratted thing out. I guess I'll have to go with carrots. She doesn't always like those, but at least I can eat them if she doesn't.

Forgive me if I list things you've tried. These are things I like:
broccoli florets (cooked or raw)
cauliflower florets (cooked or raw)
watercress
radishes (I adore these)
olives (some children like olives)
baby sweet corn
sugar snap peas
green beans (cooked or raw)

Broccoli is our most common dinner vegetable because Cordelia will reliably eat that. I'm trying not to overdo broccoli because I don't know what we'll do if she takes against it. (Dinner vegetables are broccoli, green beans, peas, and bok choy, and bok choy is falling out of favor.)

She won't touch cauliflower, cooked or raw.

I don't think I've ever seen watercress in a local grocery store. Possibly one of the expensive specialty stores might have it. I don't know.

She doesn't like radishes or olives.

We might be able to try baby corn. I don't think I've seen it in our grocery stores, but there are a couple of nearby Asian groceries that might have it.

Sugar snap peas are a possibility, but I'd rather not turn to them regularly because they're very expensive.

I'm not sure about green beans. It's hard to get good fresh ones around here, especially this time of year. Mostly, we buy frozen.

Someone on DreamWidth suggested pickles, and I may try that. I should be able to blot a pickle spear dry (well, dry enough).

Thanks for the suggestions!
