Onions. They're delicious and versatile and make most savoury dish better.
They still make me cry though, and I must have tried probably 20+ different methods to help with it at this point. None work for me.

I lived with someone who refused to eat anything that she knew had onion in (if she didn't know, she was fine, like burger patties), it was very difficult to cook in that household
I was like that until pretty late in my teens. I found cooked onions kinda gross and off-putting. When I think about it now I feel bad for my mom who used to cook for me.
onion is an extremly strong contenter .. like all the forms , its cool with everybody .. you cry when you cut it , its smells proclaims a good meal coming...
Amen. Got some lotus leaf buns and I'm low on food, so probably just frying up some onions and stalk mushrooms in oyster sauce and calling it a day.
I put cut onions under running water immediately and flex them apart so it gets all of the tear gas out.
You can keep them in the fridge too to stop the tear gas.
I went to Ethiopia and found they eat onions a lot. You grind them to a pulp (e.g. In a good processor, so no crying) and fry the pull with seasonings and tomato paste. Best sauce ever.

Very unconvential, but what I do... I have diving goggles that cover the nose and I just put them on when I cut onions. No more tears, but you look ridiculous for a while :D

Potato. No veggie can do everything, but a tater can do a whole lot more than most. Would miss onions tho
I was thinking the same. Potato's are not the best at anything but they are great at many things. So versatile and delicious.

Brassica oleracea cultivars because basically everyone took this same family and bred it to emphasize different parts of the plant
Broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts, etc
You're cheating and you know it
Broccol
nah, shit's good if you saute it (or do almost anything else with it, but if you steam it, be careful to keep any excess water because that's now where almost all of your vitamins are)
The vegetable reading this right now
cheney in a coma?

Feels a little like cheating, but peanuts
🥔
is it cheating if we consider all the varieties? I'm a big radish fan. I love daikon, wasabi, and snacking on tiny red radishes. Radish greens make a decent pesto too.
Culinary, squash. Botanically, anything cruciferous.
