Yesterday Green Giant revealed the results of a survey taken to determine America’s favorite vegetable. It turns out our nation’s number-one vegetable is broccoli. That seems right to me, because broccoli rules. The two runners up were carrots and corn. All these picks are excellent vessels for butter and cheese.
As always, there’s some fun tidbits thrown in with the survey. Tomatoes and cucumbers (which are both fruit, but who’s keeping track, really), were favorites in 2020, but didn’t make the 2021 list. While corn was chosen as the most popular vegetable in seven times more states in 2021 than in 2020, it still didn’t win. It’s also the favorite vegetable among Americans between the ages of 55 and 72. That’s oddly specific, but okay!
The West Coast couldn’t care less about broccoli; it’s all about the carrots over there, while folks on the East Coast are big fans of the cruciferous vegetable. In general, most people chose broccoli over all the other vegetables because they simply like the way broccoli tastes. At the same time, although it won, it’s losing ground to carrots: the number of states that picked carrots as their favorite increased by 500% this year, while broccoli’s popularity fell by 23%.

Not my favorite...blech!
Spinach is my favorite....Spinach salad, Spinach bread, spinach omelet, spinach in garlic and oil. Spinach in soup. Spinach on pizza.
I like broccoli just fine but no way it is or will ever be America’s favorite. Corn would win IMHO, with lettuce a close second.
I thought Biden was America’s favorite vegetable.
Actually I like broccoli and brussel sprouts. BUT as I am on warfarin I can’t touch either one of them.
Bull.
It’s taters.
Displaying their affection for Broccoli, Americans have stolen the White house for an "Administration" with Intelligence equal to that of the revered Broccoli.
Only if you need an emetic.
I was thinkin AOC
It’s got electrolytes!..........................
You, sir, win the Internet.
Maybe that was the reason he upchucked.
Is that a vegetable?........................
Nope.
Depending on how you classify things (legally it’s a vegetable, but in many ways it’s a fruit), tomatoes for me.
Dietetically, corn is often classed as a starch, but I like fresh corn on the cob.
If we’re really talking about green vegetables, I’ll take fresh baby spinach, and have a salad.
It’s not unacceptable, but broccoli isn’t that near the top.
