attractive vegetable to serve?

I would have to say mine is diced saute'd eggplant! It looks awful yet tastes unbelieveably great!!! To make it look more attractive I plate it with a sprig of parsley on top, and a few slices of dark red tomatoes beside it:p The eye is attracted to the pretty green of the parsley and red of the tomatoes and the eggplant kind of fades into the background less noticed.

Hmmm... not sure, Cathy... maybe long-cooked greens. I like the more vibrant green color of veggies just barely blanched.

frozen brussel sprouts.
I love fresh brussel sprouts, but the frozen ones lose all of their natural sweetness and color. Such a shame - I know alot of people that say "ick!" when these little sweeties are mentioned - but I think they may have only sampled the frozen/cooked/anemic variety.

I grew up on a farm and one of the things we grew was potatoes. Back then we didn't have fancy machinery to harvest our potato crop with. We had a machine with an end that dug into the ground that ran the dirt, clumps and whatever else was in the ground over a conveyor and then dropped everything behind it. My job was to then dig through the loosened soil and by hand, dig the potatoes out of it and put them into bushel baskets.
There was nothing like digging through the soil clumps and grabbing a rotting, oooozing slime foul smelling potato. It scarred me for life and I should have had therapy because of it. To this day, I can and love to eat any type of potato except for a baked potato. I never got over the images, smell or the feel of the slime oozing through my fingers.

rotten taters are soooooo gross!!!!
