baby carrots or green bean boiled for 8 minutes then drained and butter added is a great side dish.

asparagus cooked on the grill after being oiled and salted are supposedly good. i don't eat the vile stuff.

What would you folks say the most difficult vegetable to prepare is?

Turnip is a pain in the ass.

Nah, turnips are a cinch. I peel them with a potato peeler, no problem.

They don't mash as easily as I would prefer, though. I hate them for that.

Honestly, that's all I had when I tried to think of vegetables which are hard to prepare.

I will be preparing my first butternut squash tonight, and I fully expect it to be more difficult than most vegetables. I guess that was the impetus for that post.

I've never tried to mash a turnip.

Hmmm, I don't think I've ever had to prepare butternut squash. My wife made a butternut squash bisque not too long ago. It was delicious. Good luck, surface the north.

Hope it turned out well for you. Butternut squash is usually pretty easy. Add a nice graham cracker/brown sugar crumble topping and its perfect...

It was incredibly fun, and not as difficult as I expected. I halved them and then roasted them with a little bit of nutmeg and brown sugar. The hardest part was getting them out of their peels after the roast, but at the same time, that technique was enjoyable. I bet dicing a raw butternut is a bitch, though.
