  Speaker 3: Today it is National Fresh Veggies Day.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Well that's the day I hang out.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that you eat veggies once a year,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: although there are some people out there I think that
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: applies to. It's just a little gentle reminder to get
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: more veggies, fresh ones into your diet.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I did it on the.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Weekend by making a big pot of veggie and lambshank soup.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I had a pizza.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Well that's I guess that's got some veggies on it,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: but don't know about how many fresh they are once
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: it's been through the pizza.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to make up for it today.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Your question, of course, is how many portions does it take?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: You know, you hear five portions a day, seven, ten?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: And what is a portion? These questions and more?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: What always?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: You know, it's what always bamboozles me, different things for
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: different people.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I know. I think the key is though fresh.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Yes really, and making sure that you work them into
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: every meal in some in some way, and you'll feel
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: better for it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: You will.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, there's all that everyone's got one vegetable
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: that they're like, I'm a.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Grown up where I draw the line, there's not enough
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: cheese in the world to hide that, because I was
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: force fed this as a child, and now I refuse exactly.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: So we're asking on thirteen fifty five twenty two or
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the text lineszero for seven, six ninety six, ninety six
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: ninety six, what's the worst vegetable out there?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: There is a time where I would have said, hands down,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Brussels sprouts horrible. Yeah, but I think Brussels sprouts have
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: been redeemed a little in recent times when people started,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you know, slathering them in buttery.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't get the memo.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I think that's the way my grandmother used to do them,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: just you know, ow natural. But I think, yes, parsnip, turnip,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: all the its swede and swede. Mum used to do
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: mashed pumpkin and potato, which was great, great combination.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: But she used to sneak those in there. And it's like,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I can.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Tell, can I give you a tell the in here?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Your mum wasn't the only.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: One, Yeah, she wasn't anyway. On the text, Carolyn in
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Your Kind says the worst by far is Okra it's
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: slimy when it's cooked. Its texture is weird, you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: she said, at least a Brussels sprout can be baked,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: changing the flavor.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: That's what I mean about the Brussels sprout. We've embraced
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the Brussels sprout a little bit more, but.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Familiar with that one, Okra.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to become I've never never I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: know it, I know of it, and I have heard
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: it slimy and that that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Was what I think. I'll give that one a miss.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: In Excess used to love their vegetables so much they
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: were vegetables.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Doesn't Michael Jackson call someone a vegetable?
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: In and Excess certainly came a long way from we
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: are the vegetables earlier.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Efforts on a National Fresh Veggie Day, we're talking about
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: what the worst vegetable not having it out there is.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Carolyn and Maddeley, Good morning.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Russell, Lisa.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Look? I reckon it's broadbean.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Broad The taste and smell like sweaty old toes.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Yuck.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: You know, they're also known as father beans, so maybe
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to be enjoying them with an ask Kiote.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: As and somebody's Hannibal Lector said, non if Hannibal. If
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Hannibal Lecter likes it, you know it can't be good.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Do you know what? You're not the only one saying that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: There's been at least two more votes for broadbeans on
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: the text, one from a shell and one from damon.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: So there we go. I actually thought they were a legume,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: but they are. They're a ually. I guess all leggs
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: and vegetables too.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: We don't like it, and we're our apologies to all
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the broadbeing farmers out there.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: We ain't buying them for you.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Thanks Caroline. You don't have to eat them, no, thank you,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: just push them to absolutely. Paul In Jodler, Hello.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: What can't your stomach that?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: What is it for you?
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: So it has to be celery. It looks like a
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: cross section of a caterpillar. It's crunchy, it's got a
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: milky sat it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Have you tried loading it up with peanut butter? That's
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: what I do?
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Uh No, I don't actually have peanut butter. We've got nuts, Hella.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know that nutella would go down the little
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: moat of the you know, celery stick.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I know that up with crunchy peanut butter. And that's
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: about the only alley that's.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: The official term for it is called the moat yea.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: The only way I can stomach it is in pea
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: and ham soup from Alfred's Kitchens.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay, all right, well I'm with you.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I don't like celery either, Paul, so I don't care
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: what Alfred does to it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I ain't having it. Thanks for you, mate. All right?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Do you if I were to ask you, what do
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: you think Australia's most popular vegetable is, you would guess potato,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: wouldn't You would have thought so because yeah, well it's
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Carrott is Australia's most widely purchased fresh vegetable, reaching roughly
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: ninety one percent of households. There's always a carrot in
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the in there and that's that's followed by potatoes and
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: then onions.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, I would have gone potato.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Actually, chips and vegetables too of fat? Really, Oh no, dear.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: That's where I like potatoes. Yeah well, actually no, potatoes
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: can be done so many ways. I like that one.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: That's very versatile.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: What is not the good one?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And we're getting lots of text about what people think
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: is the worst vegetable out there.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Chris says, squash. That's just I find it just has
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: no taste at all. Squash. It's just like it just
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: takes up room on the plate.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: What's the point?
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I know?
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Celery closely followed by broad beans, says another. We're getting
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of oats for broad beans. Another one that says,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Mum used to force me to eat them, and I'd
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: be gagging on them. That was Sam in Two Rocks.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Biancha says the worst vegetable's got to be green beans.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: They've got a funky taste. I prefer a snow peach
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to a green bean.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: See the way they used to do the old green beans,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: you know, with the frozen ones, and they'd be boiled and.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: They were just woltery. But you can do beans so nicely,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: now them fresh.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. At the end,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: what we've not had votes for Brussels sprouts. There might
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: have been one very very early.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Once again, it depends how they're done, but you will
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: if they're boiled and just you know, put on the plate.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I think Brussels.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Sprouts have been rescued in recent times by you know, garlic.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: So that they like chips and disguising the taste as
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: much as possible.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: On this world veggie. I mean, look, let's be.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Honest, if they weren't so good for you, I mean,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: you wouldn't eat them. Today we're flipping the coin and
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: we want to know what the worst veggie is.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Do you want to know what they say is the
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: best one for you? Spinach? I love spinach. I actually
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: chucked in on anything yea.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And in a salad, and I never thought i'd you know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that's another one.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: See spinach is another one.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Years ago, when we were kids, spinach was very different
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: to what it is you can get now.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: It is, indeed like it talk about the worst vegetable
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: on the text, Granting Queen's rocks is with me. Any
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: of the yips, grant turnips, parsnips, we don't go for them.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Dave and Richard says, Brussels sprouts are the business.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It's the kale, the kale, that's Brussels sprouts. I've never
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: had Cole Rabbi. They talk about it all the time
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: on Master Chef. Anyway, let's go to Jenny and Caurenbine.
• 8:25

• 8:28
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
