My daughters can't stand Brussel Sprouts, my favoutite vegetable. If I eat celery (hardly worth the effort, anyway), I get a headache. I avoid carrots where possible, and about the only thing I concurred with Ronald Reagan on was the lack of merit of broccoli.

Were I forced to turn vegetarian, I would die of boredom!

I suspect that whippets dyslexia is the problem with this thread. What he meant to say was "Are praties vegetables?", thereby revealing his Irish roots. The answer to which is, "No, they are tubers!"
